I’m calling off work when Brent Faiyaz drops “ICON.”
There are two reasons I f**k with Brent Faiyaz. For one, no one is making R&B music like him. And secondly, he’s from the DMV — so, b*tch, I’m going to root for him. That said, I’m patiently waiting for his upcoming album ICON, which was supposed to drop a few weeks ago, but didn’t (Did he scam us like those NBA players?).
To make sure he didn’t leave us hanging too long, he decided to bless us with a new single called “have to.”
I hate to sound blasphemous, but Brent Faiyaz enters 4batz territory on “have to.,” dipping into smooth, old-school R&B vibes (he even alters his voice significantly just like batzsy). Lyrically, he’s in full Captain Save-A-Chick mode, admitting that he’s so deeply in love with his girl that he’s ready to give her a max extension. Overall, this track is the kind of s**t that sets the mood on a cold December night with someone you probably want to have sexual relations with.
Brent Faiyaz remains one of the coldest hopeless romantics in the game.
Quincy is the creator of Ratings Game Music. He loves writing about music, taking long walks on beaches, and spaghetti that fights him back.
