The album Lessons In Love didn’t quite live up to the expectations after last year’s surprising Street Love, but one song showed why I consider Lloyd to be one of the most talented young artists of today.

‘Year Of The Lover’ was written by Rico Love and produced by Eric Hudson, whose previous work includes songs by Mary J Blige, Omarion and Ne-Yo, just to mention a few. The production fits Lloyd’s voice perfectly, and Lloyd really seems to have found his niche as a young rnb Casanova far from the sugar sweet music he used to perform as lead singer of boy band N-Toon a few years back. And when it comes to the lyrical content, the song title really speaks for itself.
