I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard rum.gold. His sound put a timestamp on my life and honestly, that’s what music should do. His atmospheric take on R&B is sound is and the subjects are often reflective and introspective. It doesn’t take long to understand that rum.gold is a masterful vocalist. His range is incredible, often taking off into a soaring falsetto. The singer just recently started releasing music under this name. Before going by rum.gold, he released his music anonymously.
“Just another drop, fill me up, till I’m holy/Heaven only knows/What we’d do when we’re Lonely/Break the bread and watch as the seas come calling.”
On his latest project, rum.gold enlists Jamila Woods as well as producer George Moore. My favorite record on the project “Waiting For” find the new engaging in talks of relationships and the desired outcomes both hope to see. The project is a remarkable, soulful expression of where rum.gold is in his life. From start to finish, it’s worth several listens. You can listen to the full project below and on all major streaming services now. Lastly, for more indie spotlights, Eryn Martin Brings the Bounce on New Single “Namesez”.
