October London is an artist that defies categorisation - singular yet familiar, contemporary but timeless, with a soulfulness that betrays his youth. After firmly establishing himself as The Rebirth Of Marvin on his acclaimed Death Row Records debut, the sumptuous vocalist returns with the aptly titled October Nights. Conjuring images of crisp autumn evenings spent by a crackling fireplace, it cements its creator as one of the preeminent R&B artists of his era.
With this album, October London showcases a talent that cannot be pigeonholed. While the comparisons to Motown's iconic roster are inevitable, London's dextrous performance over the course of October Nights transcends these obvious likenesses. The music is personal and assured, highlighting the artist's continued evolution and natural sense of identity. No longer the rebirth of a beloved predecessor, October now appears intent on carving his own inimitable niche in the annals of R&B history. On this evidence, he has unequivocally succeeded
