Three-Time Grammy Nominated Singer-Songwriter-Producer And Social Activist Raheem Devaughn Releases His 8th Studio Album: What A Time To Be In Love

January 11, 2021

What A Time To Be In Love has been globally released on all streaming and download platforms on Friday, November 20th, via the SRG ILS label imprint.

This phenomenal piece of art marks Raheem’s eighth studio album release and is what he describes as Movement Music.

Leading up to the release of “What A Time To Be In Love“, Raheem DeVaughn blessed his fans with the ultimate treat as he released three-tracks from the album; the thought-provoking Marvin Used to Say, the sensual Mr. Midnight, and the new fan-favorite Twilight.

For over a decade, singer Raheem DeVaughn has been on a mission to create music that evokes change while maintaining the energy of love. He recently released the powerful and thought-provoking song, “Marvin Used To Say.” The poignant and timely song speaks directly to the ongoing social turmoil and the unfortunate fact that not enough has changed since fellow D.C.-native Marvin Gaye asked “What’s Going On?” nearly 50 years ago.

“I have always been part of the culture shift of Soul & R&B from a mixtape level to a mainstream industry level since the early 2000s so album number eight, “What A Time To Be in Love” will be no less then nostalgic vibes that not only speak to the consciousness and social climate on the world, but also to the lover in you. It’s a classic album!,” he adds.

“What A Time To Be In Love”, produced entirely by The Colleagues, the forthcoming project finds the three-time Grammy Nominated crooner fully embracing what he sees as his social responsibility: to inspire and encourage his listeners as they fight for justice and equality. While the album is defined as Movement Music, DeVaughn recognizes the importance of also nurturing and encouraging the emotional connections needed to sustain us during this fight. As such, fans can also expect the new album to embody and reflect the musical legacy that has earned the singer his place amongst R&B royalty as the “Love King.”
