With Production from newcomer Nigerian born Prosee (Ariginal), longtime collaborator Jerry Compere and co-writing from indie soul star DeBorah Bond (on the rhapsodic “Dance Amongst the Stars”), it’s the lyrics as much as the hybrid production grooves that distinguish Marquis from the cynical, hyper-sexual trends of the moment. These are vibrant songs about love written from the point of view of a husband and father still deeply in love and grateful for all he has been gifted. The joy envelopes every lover’s serenade throughout this passion project.

On the EP’s title cut, “I Choose You,” Marquis delivers us to the interior thoughts of a man walking down the aisle to his forever love, thinking about who he’s chosen and the promise of what’s to come. On “My Everything,” Marquis fights through his fears to be vulnerable to his heart space to express the power of their healing and restorative love. “OU” reminisces about the first time he and his wife met, made love, and the immediacy of their connection. Meanwhile, “Date Night” provides a blueprint for how to keep their home fires burning past love’s first blush. Humming with Spanish guitar and Afro-Latin jazz flourishes, “Dance Amongst the Stars” is as weeping tango celebration of his enduring partnership, daring couples not to take their partner in hand on the dance floor. “Missing Piece” is the dramatic climax of the EP. Co-written with one of the best songwriters of this generation, Oshy Byrd, Marquis Barry White croons this tune. It’s a steamy, seductive, emotionally open, and embracing record that praises his woman for being the missing piece that completed him.

I Choose You will continue to build the Bradd Marquis legacy as a man unafraid to sing about the beauty of love, marriage, and commitment.
