R&B is in a renaissance, and we need to look to artists like Lekan for the music that sets the mood. With his latest single Come Thru, the rising vocalist delivers the kind of slow-burning, sensual record that reminds listeners why we fell in love with the genre in the first place: vulnerability, connection, and love-making storytelling that refuses to fade away.
As platforms shift and trends cycle fast, it’s easy for people to say, “R&B isn’t the same anymore.” But records like Come Thru prove the truth: R&B is still here. The intimacy is still here. And we still want, and need, music that feels this real.
From the opening lines, “Just tell me what you need, and what you want — I might do for you,” Lekan sets a tone that is intentional and intimate.
The chorus, asking a lover to “just come through for it,” turns the record into a late-night invitation wrapped in warmth and confidence.
His vocals glide over production that gives space for emotion to breathe. It’s sensual without being performative, grown without trying too hard, and rooted in the emotional honesty that defines classic R&B.
“Come Thru is all about that undeniable pull between two people—the kind of connection you don’t have to explain,” Lekan says. “It’s late-night energy, pure chemistry, and the moment you both know exactly what’s about to happen. I wanted the song to feel intimate, confident, and impossible to fake.”
It’s exactly the type of record fans keep asking for, music built around connection, romance, and desire.
Come Thru leads into Lekan’s 2026 EP, For All The Right Reasons, a project that will explore themes of balance, purpose, and choosing peace over pressure.
It’s a return to intentionality in both life and music, something R&B listeners crave.
At a time when the genre often gets flattened into short clips and oversimplified narratives, artists like Lekan are essential. He represents the R&B we grew up on: sensual, thoughtful, atmospheric, and rooted in emotional storytelling.
And yes, the love-making music is still very much alive. But it survives because we support the artists who keep making it.
Listen to Come Thru in our The Gentlemen’s Soundtrack playlist on Spotify. For All The Right Reasons arrives in 2026.
