    (August 9, 2020) Tony Terry’s long-running streak of quality R&B includes material of a variety of tempos and moods; but it’s the slow-jams and midtempo numbers that have made the most impact with fans through the years. On his new single, “Born Ta Luv Ya,” the D.C.-reared vocalist settles into a comfortable and smoothly soulful vibe with an underlying groove that’s both easygoing and snappy.

    Riding on a palatable melody punctuated by stylish guitar lines and a head-nod-inducing beat, Terry showcases the best of his tenor timbre with assured phrasing and falsetto embellishments. Let’s hope it’s just a taste of more fine jams to come shortly. Take a First Listen to “Born Ta Luv Ya” below and welcome back Tony Terry.
