Soul-Pop singer-songwriter Durell Anthony delivers a heartfelt celebration of love in all its forms and lifelong connection through ten soul-stirring tracks.
SAN DIEGO, CA (November 14, 2025) - Soul-pop artist Durell Anthony returns this fall with Lovenotes, a deeply personal and universally resonant album that explores love in all its forms - romantic, familial, and human. Set for release on November 14, the ten-track project showcases Anthony’s smooth vocals, timeless melodies, and emotional storytelling, affirming his place as one of today’s most sincere voices in modern soul.
Anchored by the 2024 San Diego Music Award–nominated single (Best Pop Song) “One More Night,” Lovenotes blends the warmth of classic R&B with contemporary pop polish. Think John Legend meets Leon Bridges, with a touch of Brian McKnight - Anthony’s sound is rich with expressive piano, layered harmonies, and a falsetto that glides between joy and heartbreak. Lovenotes feels like a quiet conversation and a grand gesture all at once, creating a sound that feels both classic and contemporary that is perfect for listeners who crave sincerity and substance in modern pop-soul music.

Perfect for listeners who love the richness of soul music and the timeless catchiness of pop, this album was produced by longtime collaborators Jordan Childs and Keegan Ferrell and speaks to the beauty and intentionality of commitment and lasting love in today's culture.
