Favorite - Sharod Virtuoso (R&B) There’s something about this new Sharod Virtuoso track that reminds us of early John Legend in the vibe. The entire affair has a retro R&B feel, 00s we’d say, and we appreciate the time travel. The warbly keys paired with an impeccably tight production makes for quite the bop, but the star of the track is certainly Sharod’s honey vocals. His delivery is understated, focused and intimate, and he really chews his lyrics which shows his connection to the material. The track has a melancholy vibe as Sharod wonders if his love interest considers him their favorite amongst all the other guys they might have around. The standout of this track that makes us want to keep this on repeat is Sharod’s use of harmony punches throughout, which provides a bounty of ear candy that makes us smile everytime they make an appearance—certainly making Favorite one of ours.

Best Lyric: “Don’t wanna disagree and I don’t wanna fight, don’t know if it’s the truth or not but it’s alright.”
