Lokz Of Love

posted in: Artist Features

If you’re a regular here on OurStage, the name Lokz may already be familiar to you. The Torontonian singer won Drake’s Thank Me Later Competition last summer, opening for the hip hop star in their shared hometown of Toronto. Listen to Lokz’s silky, seductive R&B and it’s obvious why Drake tapped him to share the stage. Throw It Away could be the epilogue to Justin Timberlake’s Cry Me A River. Synths shudder against a bassy beat as Lokz sets out to prove that even remorse can sound sexy. Without You is shimmering, R&B minimalism”just the singer’s soulful baritone and undulating waves of percussion. Things get even steamier when Lokz threatens to take your body by surprise in Read Your Mind. If you’re in danger of overheating, skip to the bracing Over for an up-tempo rallying cry. It’s far from over, Lokz promises over a swelling digital string section. Music to our ears.
