A RISING STAR WHO CAPITALIZES ON CONNECTION

“SOME HOLIDAY LOVIN' is a gift! It has inspired me! I can't believe he used AI to finish it, but then again I can since people have been producing music on computers my whole life,” says 62-year-old Brent Hudson of Chicago. “Lover Man brings back the kind of soul music that understands grown love — love that wants to be held, understood, cherished, and celebrated. This debut is a reminder that romance still has a soundtrack. I'm going to tell Jennifer about it and see whether she appreciates it as well.”

A SOUND THAT FEELS LIKE HOLIDAY VELVET

____________

From the moment the first track drops, SOME HOLIDAY LOVIN' delivers a lush, warm sonic landscape—thick bass lines, velvet harmonies, and groove-laced production that nods to icons like Gil Scott-Heron, Barry White, Bobby Rush, Isaac Hayes, ZZ Hill, Donny Hathaway, ZZ Hill, Johnnie Taylor and Marvin Gaye. Yet Lover Man establishes his own fingerprint: tender storytelling with a confident edge, baritone vocals that feel both grown and grounding, and the unmistakable intention to bring lovers closer.

Each of the seven tracks explores a different dimension of seasonal romance — from rekindled passion by the fireplace to joyful two-step dancing at holiday gatherings, to intimate reflections on love, commitment, and connection in the quiet of winter nights.

____________

A GIFT FOR COUPLES EVERYWHERE

____________

What sets this EP apart is Lover Man’s unmistakable dedication to couples. In an age where holiday releases often lean toward the commercial or comedic, SOME HOLIDAY LOVIN' chooses intimacy. These songs celebrate partnership—real partnership—the kind that embraces shared laughter, soft kisses, deep trust, and the refreshing joy of simply being together.

Listeners can expect:

*Slow jams** perfect for late-night holiday cuddles

*Soulful, funky mid-tempos** that spark nostalgic two-step energy

*Smooth spoken-word moments** that lean into Lover Man’s signature baritone charm

*Lyrics written for grown listeners** who want emotional depth, sensual maturity, and musical artistry

A RISING STAR WITH A CLASSIC SOUL

____________

Industry buzz around Lover Man has been building steadily. Early listeners and tastemakers describe his voice as “smoke and honey,” “cinematic,” and “a welcome return to the depth of soul music that defined R&B’s golden era.”

Mixed-genre artist Goddess Sage is a Mississippi native and former Texas resident living in Illinois who has released eight music projects including the "Imaginary Friend" and "Holiday With You" CDs in 2025. When commenting on Lover Man's debut created using AI at the height of the controversy surrounding it, Goddess Sage commented that, “SOME HOLIDAY LOVIN'’ is more than a seasonal project and proves how people who use AI don't want others to use it in a way that they haven't successfully applied it! This project is a superb offering you can partake in each day of the year you deem special and worthy of intentionally celebrating. Lover Man arrives with passion on each song of this project. He gives couples a soundtrack that honors love with fullness, sensuality, and emotional richness. Anyone boycotting it is denying themselves a good thing because all of the music I've ever recorded in studios since I was 13 years old has all used engineering software and at 52 I still rock the stage and work the crowd when I sing my music live. These projects by Lover Man and me are also is the kind of holiday music people have been wanting to add to their playlist and we both are more than ecstatic to be able to provide it to the world finally.”

If this debut is any indication, Lover Man is poised to become one of the most compelling new artists of the decade.
