A multitalented artist, songwriter, and keyboardist, Doc Martin’s resume also reads lawyer and activist—fronts he has been able to balance proficiently and allow each to bounce off one another in his own unique way. At this point, he is an icon in his own right and an indisputable musical genius, not only with his consistent R&B brand but with popular music in general. He has been creating vibrant, colorful music teeming with life and ambition. Nearly everything he touches bears the indelible stamp of his brilliant, joyous positivity, even when he is addressing serious racial and spiritual issues or singing about heartbreak and romantic uncertainty. With his music, an underlying sense of optimism and hope always seems to emerge.
What his highly acclaimed EP “Brownsuede” showcased was an artist with a voracious appetite for many different kinds of music, refusing to confine himself to any sound or style. His style is a richly eclectic brew of R&B, soul, funk, jazz, and rock and roll.
Continuing with his trailblazing journey, Doc Martin is back with another sweet-sounding ballad dubbed “With You”- a lovely jazz-flavored tune that celebrates that kind of love that would make a man do anything—and I mean absolutely anything, for the woman he loves.
Martin’s distinct voice and his range help account for the broad appeal of this song. His voice is smooth, elastic, and warm as he lusciously slinks over the mellow, laid-back, yet powerful production of “With You.” This production, co-created by Thaddeus “Sample Space” Brown, wraps around the lyrics like a warm embrace, attributing credit to both the co-producer and co-writer for the unique sound.
Wearing his heart on his sleeve, he really takes a listener to a world very much like Stevie Wonder’s, yet still brings a sound and strength of his own and captivates with that infectious hook.
As the man continues to lose track of time every time he spends time with the woman he loves, how about you do the same by listening to this track on repeat? Because that is exactly what happens… this is the kind of music you listen to over and over again, and every time it gets better!
Already streaming on all the popular channels, “With You” is a worthy addition to any playlist.
