This is an awesome slice of underground soul music that would be well worth paying for, but Mar has kindly made it available for free. The singer/songwriter from Amsterdam has crafted an excellent EP that keeps it sexy without crossing over into cheesy. Production comes from FS Green and Full Crate, so you know the sound has a futuristic feel, placing it at the forefront of a new R&B movement. On every front – from songwriting, to vocals, to overall class, Mar measures up to, if not bests, any of the current crop of mainstream male R&B stars. This is the sound of the future….
I'm Lucy Beer and I run this here blog. I like soul, hip-hop and electronic music, and anything that blurs those lines. You can reach me at: music[AT]beatlife.net - please don't attach MP3 files - provide links to download or listen to them. Also, if you're a rapper and your name is 'Lil something, it's probably not a good fit for this blog ;)

He reminds me of Jon B and that’s not a bad thing. Jon B at his best was about as good as anybody on the RnB/soul scene. However I’m really not in love with the regressive objectification (yet again) of the faceless nameless clothesless female body in the artwork. More imagination and less pandering to stereotypical commercial agendas.
