How October London Legit Channeled Marvin Gaye!

The Rebirth of Marvin

Let's talk about how Marvin Gaye, the timeless, fine-ass swooner, has appeared in our dimension again. Marvin, is that YOU!?

"Mulholland Drive" by October London is a soulful and nostalgic track released on September 29, 2017. The song draws inspiration from the scenic Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles, a winding road that offers stunning views of the city's skyline.

Industry stats show that "Mulholland Drive" received critical acclaim and was well-received by audiences. The track peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Adult R&B chart, showcasing London's talent as a rising star in the industry.

The song's smooth and sultry sound is due in part to the use of a sample from Marvin Gaye's song entitled "You Are The Way You Are." This nod to Gaye's iconic sound is fitting, as London's vocal delivery and style are often compared to the legendary soul singer.

London's uncanny similarity to Marvin Gaye is evident in his silky-smooth vocals and the way he effortlessly blends different genres of music, including soul, R&B, and jazz. However, London also brings his own unique perspective to his music, infusing it with his personal experiences and struggles.

And, guess what? I am thoroughly PLEASED and excited about how October London has managed to channel Marvin Gaye. I cannot begin to explain how the lyrics for this new rendition of Marvin's original instrumental has adequately translated the emotions Marvin had hoped to express. I have been listening to Mulholland Drive on #repeat. This is considerably WELL DONE on many fronts. Good Gawd Almighty!
