Whether its music, film, video games or television, producing a worthy sequel to fan favorite release is incredibly difficult. However, after five years, it appears emerging vocalist Jermaine Elliott has done just that. Following the success of 2019’s S2D2, the New York has returned to release S2D2 Vol. II.
The six-track brings the soulful, sensual soundscapes that dominated the first volume in the modern soundscape and blends them with the rich, evocative melodies that have become hallmarks of his most recent releases, highlighting his maturation as an artist. Along the way, he reaches out and works with a notable roster of talented artists and producers, including Dee Gatti, Allen Ritter, dF, Sprngbrk (A1), Jesiah Cherry and Fabio Alonso. Putting the cherry on top of his latest work, Jermaine Elliott invites his son, Jesiah Cherry, to upgrade the EP’s final song, “Irrational Interlude.”
S2D2 Vol. II is a reward for Elliott’s early fans and a worthwhile surprise for those searching for their next favorite R&B act. As the summer kicks off, enhance your summer playlist with S2D2 Vol. II.
