(November 27, 2023) Motown is the first music label that comes to mind when thinking about great Detroit musical institutions. There is a good reason why Motown, the music made there and the artists who called the label home, loom large in the public’s consciousness. The music was great and the artists iconic.
However, even when the House of Gordy operated at the height of its powers, there were other artists and labels making great music based in Detroit. And that remains the case today. Daryl Williams founded Riverwalk Records to showcase a new generation of Detroit based artists.

Pato Magnetic is among the artists signed to Williams’ Riverwalk Records, and his latest single, “Let’s Make Love Tonight,” will remind listeners of the smooth “Quiet Storm” music of the 1980s.; “Let’s Make Love Tonight” is an as advertised bedroom anthem where Magneto uses his buttery tenor to set a romantic scene. The musical arrangement brings that 1980s sound into the 21st Century with a low-key bass line that’s both funky and sexy and atmospherics on the keyboards. Check out Pato Magnetic “Let’s Make Love Tonight” here.
