If there is one thing for sure, it’s that the Toronto music scene is taking over. With the likes of PARTYNEXTDOOR and DVSN championing the sound, all eyes are on the city and R&B artist RUSSELL! is riding the new wave. Dropping his latest single “WAKEUPNEXT2U” today, the artist takes us through a heartfelt production filled with emotional piano-led melodies and pop sensibilities. Pouring out his passion and spirit over the warming piano keys, the singer opens up love and how he’s ready to take the next step with a special someone.

Known to combine traditional R&B sounds with hip-hop and pop, the artist has been gaining a lot of buzz for his buttery smooth productions and soaring vocals. Due to release his debut project any moment now, we say keep a close eye on the rising star because big things are due to come his way in the coming months.
