this should have way more likes and reposts. so much soul. reminds me of bilal

This vibe sounds like a smash of D'Angelo and Bilal, likes the sound

In the vein of the classic, timeless, and golden era of Soul music, Aaron Abernathy, professionally known as Ab is relighting the torch and paying homage to the 7 inch vinyl record 45s with his “A” and “B” side project entitled "45 Series, Vol. 1."  

An ode to the classic 7-inch record culture, this collector's item consists of an upbeat A-side record produced by long time collaborator Black Milk. “Stop Fakin’” features a strong lead vocal from Ab, coupled with Funkadelic-like background vocals. The contrasting B-Side is reminiscent of greats like Donny Hathaway, Isaac Hayes, and Curtis Mayfield, who were known to orchestrate masterpieces without singing a note; leaving the instruments to speak freely. “Stevie’s Lament” is an ethereal composition written by Ab on behalf of his close friend and is a poignant expression of the pain of losing both life and love in one fell swoop.  Fitting in its format, its melody portrays a pain that is, in its nature, beyond words.
