PRESS PLAY: Lloyd Is Keeping It Sexy For The Summer With His New Single, 'Caramel' 

PRESS PLAY: Lloyd Is Keeping It Sexy For The Summer With His New Single, ‘Caramel’
@curlyheadedblackboy Instagram
By Rachaell Davis · Updated October 23, 2020

Music lovers are getting a dose of the summer courtesy of none other than R&B crooner, Lloyd.

Back to heat up the airwaves once again, Lloyd is doing what he does best with a sensual new single titled, ‘Caramel.’ The melodic slow jam hears the talented singer-songwriter serenade listeners while boasting about enjoying the company of a beautiful woman in his life whom he hopes to one day make his wife.

“Caramel, dripping in my bed. Yeah you know, what’s going through my head,” he sings on the song’s chorus. “I’m thinkin’ bout, getting with you tonight, wifin’ you up for life.”

Early fans of the 32-year-old entertainer will recognize Lloyd’s signature sound that helped first propel him to stardom in the early 2000s, while new listeners will surely be adding the seductive new single to their playlists in no time.

“Caramel” follows the success of his 2016’s platinum-selling single, “Tru,” and precedes Lloyd’s long-awaited fifth studio album, TRU, which is slated for release on August 31. You can pre-order the album HERE.

So many of us wear the arrogance of ignorance.. finding comfort in contentment. Everyday is another fight to avoid the lure of temptation. To practice humility. To love strangers like family. To love myself, truly. I find it to be most difficult not to take the easy way out. I am most happy to release some of the most personal, challenging, introspective, loving, and soulful music I’ve created thus far in my life. Topics like becoming a father, losing my sister, embracing love over lust, and being true to my roots. All inspired by a need to reach further inside to the core of my soul, in hopes of relieving the burden of acceptance or admiration. Also inspired by the current increase in suicides and hate crime toward others, The battles of depression that still lurk in the shadows, and the appreciation for mothers, sisters, and daughters that is needed now more than ever. thanks to the fans for encouraging me to be a votary of truth and supporting TRU, making it platinum, and to the media for giving attention to a positive frequency over devisive & shallow content.. TRU LP 8/31..

A proud New Orleans native and new father, Lloyd recently performed the song live for the first time at the 2018 ESSENCE Festival before a packed crowd, before later introducing the world to his son, in what proved to be a true highlight of the Festival weekend.
