New Music: Marcell William: “My Baby”

July 10th, 2011  |  Published in Music

My Baby is a different sound for Marcell William. On first listen, I wasn’t sure that it was in fact Mr. Third Voice. I was expecting something more along the lines of Trigga Trey bedroom songs. If you’ve seen Marcell make girls scream at The New Parish, you know why. Written by Esinchill, the latest DopeOnly-backed track is decidedly adult. It has a fun bounce. It’s two-step friendly. And it’s an R&B; song that, gasp, isn’t overtly sexual.

There will be no grinding in dark corners of local clubs. It’s not panty dropping music. It’s not baby making music. And in a music landscape where those things are the norm (unless you’re trying to pull off R&B; thug), I’m thinking “My Baby” is a step in the right direction. A step away from the crowd. Even if it’s only for this one song.
