Miss the days of Marvin Gaye? Wish soul had a longer life-line before petering out? Raheem DeVaughn can probably sympathize. In fact, this rising star can do more: He can offer you a whole new take on R&B and soul that’s attracting fans like it’s going out of style.
DeVaughn’s introduction to music was his mother’s box of old vinyl records. He picked up on jazz, soul and old school R&B, blending those rhythms together for his 2005 debut, “The Love Experience.” Borrowing heavily from the sounds of the ‘70s, the album adds strings to back his honey sweet voice. If you’re a fan of R&B, this is an artist you’ll want concert tickets for.
In 2008, DeVaughn expanded his sound. His sophomore album, “Love Behind the Melody,” attracted critical attention. Though he’s still not widely known, he’s gaining fans by the day. Expect to notice a rising desire for Raheem DeVaughn tickets in the near future.
