The Wait is Over for Darien Brockington Fans

The last time we heard anything about Darien Brockington's new album was back in September. Being the side-eyeist that I am, I took a wait-and-see approach. Mainly, I'm tired of posting "hope" on this website and prefer tangible items.

In days recent, two new D-Brock tracks have surfaced. I want to assume that if you're a regular reader of SoulBounce, you already know who he is. But for the uninitiated he's the Justice League affiliate that's appeared on a number of Little Brother tracks, as well as Nicolay's Here, The Strange Fruit Project's The Healing and 4Hero's Play With the Changes. He also had a solo track on The Foreign Exchange's Connected. His first official release was Somebody to Love, a straight-up R&B album that recalled the post-New Jack sound of Carl Thomas and Faith Evans, who are among his favorite artists and influences.I know these things because I'm a stan and have been tracking dude's output for a minute. All caught up now? Good. Get into these new songs.

Side-eyeist. *snicker*

You should have put NSFW next to "Girl It's You." *fans self* He can do no wrong in my book. I love both these tracks.

Somebody To Love was a solid album. Can't think of one track I didn't like.

Loved him on tour with LB. Sexiest hype man alive indeed. Can't wait for the album.

I'm feeling that track "He Will Break Your Heart"...

Thanks for posting these. I am a true D-Brock fan. We share that Faith affinity and he is a really cool dude!
