On Rotation: MARCUS CV "CONFESSIONS OF US"
MarcusCV, a rising R&B Coventry-based artist, released his latest single “Confessions Of Us” last month. If you’re a fan of Usher, then you are in for a treat as this track is (as the title suggests) laced with nostalgic vibes from the early 00s, making you think you’re listening to the radio and an Usher heartbreak track is playing. However, this should come as no surprise as marcusCV has stated that he is inspired by R&B legends like Usher, the song pays tribute to early 2000s love ballads with smooth vocals and steamy lyrics.
The track’s structure is unique, featuring three verses and three choruses, keeping listeners engaged with its love-filled narrative. Like many R&B tracks, the beat is sleek and sensual, with shimmering synths and basslines that are bound to draw comparison to Usher’s “Confessions” era. However, the track is unique in its own right as the chorus is a standout moment with it’s catchy thyme and marcusCV’s soulful vocals.
Lyrically, “Confessions Of Us” leaves little of a heartbreak to be imagined. Weaving in clever references to Usher’s hits, with lines like “We had that ‘You Got It Bad’ kind of love, so real, but now I’m left with nothing but wounds to heal.” Other lyrics, such as “We made it through the climax, thought we would never fall” further tell the story of a love that is lost. Furthermore, the chorus sings lines of regret with “Take me back to when it was us, before we burned up the trust.” While the concept of the song surely has been sung before, marcusCv adds his own unique and thoughtful touch with each line that makes its a personal song of his own, while also being one that is easily relatable to anyone regretting the end of a relationship.
Maybe better to learn after you hear the track, but it might be hard to believe that song was produced and recorded entirely on marcusCV’s laptop and with the help of AI’s latest innovations. Through this work and his other tracks, marcusCV establishes himself as a rising artist who is talented at mixing R&B sounds with innovative production. Fans of Usher, Ne-Yo, and Bryson Tiller will appreciate his smooth delivery and nostalgic yet modern sound.
