Rising R&B Artist Adam Wilson Reveals Stunning New EP Awake
Rising R&B artist Adam Wilson has returned with his brand-new EP, Awake, a six-track collection of smooth, soulful R&B that captures the essence of what the genre is all about – strong, emotive vocals and stunning storytelling. Having already made an impression with previous projects Dear So & So and Dreams, the Chicago-born, LA-based artist looks set to continue his ascent in the R&B scene with this new release.
Playing violin since the age of four and finding his voice and picking up other instruments along the way, Adam has been involved in music his whole life. This lifelong experience is captured on Awake, which is entirely self-produced. The lead single “Uninvolved”, which provides one of the many highlights on the EP, showcases not only Adam’s polished production skills but also his captivating vocals and impressive songwriting abilities as he opens up about recognizing an unhealthy relationship, drawing on themes of self-realization and reflection. With an emotion-evoking piano over modern beats, the track recalls the likes of James Blake and Majid Jordan.
Speaking further on “Uninvolved”, Adam says, “I was living in NYC, and I walked through a random park and ran into someone that I was seeing with another man’s arm around her. I went back to my Brooklyn apartment distraught, and the song was produced and written within three hours. It all came so naturally.
“‘Uninvolved’ is about coming to a point of realizing that a relationship is no longer good for you. Being in a relationship, to me, is about growing together and encouraging each other’s best selves. This song is about self-worth and knowing that you deserve more in a relationship and that sometimes cutting things off is the best thing you can do for your health and happiness.”
With another impressive body of work under his belt, Adam is undoubtedly one to watch out for in the R&B scene. And with plans to keep new content coming, it’ll be exciting to see what’s next from this hugely talented artist. “Uninvolved” and the rest of Awake are available to buy/stream now on all platforms.

François Marius pushes romantic excitement into a dancefloor celebration with “La Loco”
François Marius arrives with a jolt of Latin Pop energy with “La Loco,” a dance-friendly track about attraction, romantic excitement and the fun madness of falling for someone. “LA Loco” is an immediate invitation to dance, with its catchy guitars, groovy bassline and spirited vocals giving it a friendly musical personality. Its approach is refreshingly simple, with the aim of having a good time rather than complicate the experience unnecessarily.
The song becomes even more interesting when Bérénice is on board, because the chemistry between the two performers is palpable. Their vocal call and response is a playful give and take, reflecting the thrill of two people being attracted to each other. It makes the romantic theme feel conversational, turning the performance into a musical chase instead of a one-sided declaration.
The acoustic elements also merge with the modern Latin beats, defining the danceable orientation of the track. “La Loco” is ultimately about enjoying the thrill that comes with attraction and letting yourself get carried away by the moment. Its constant call to swing along adds another layer of infectious energy. François Marius and Bérénice are a feel good collaboration that combines romance, rhythm and movement into an appealing Latin Pop package.
