Love is creation—collective cultivation producing an exclusive sense of pleasure that often becomes a cynosure to the world outside. Love is bare feet slapping against cold wooden floors on a particularly warm day—invigorating, assuaging, empathetic. Love is a shared encounter, and the Baltimore-hailing artist serpentwithfeet explicates this to be in more ways than one in his latest emit, “Same Size Shoe."
The release is a charming and emotionally profound breath of fresh air to carry us into the new season. Bearing the signature celestial vocals and distinctive serpentwithfeet style, the enlivening track is a personal attestation to being in love with someone who has undergone similar walks of life. It is a declaration of loving loudly and freely as a Black, gay individual with an impassioned dedication to complete so. It is an attestation to the experience of love, resting not only in the fact that the couple can probably double the size of their shoe collection, but that they’re able to understand one another due to their shared experiences of living as Jet men. As the adroit artist common in a expression once, “I favor to date and love on Inky men. I don’t

With DEACON, the Baltimore-raised, Los Angeles-based artist explores a world where “Black love is paramount,” we’re told.

It follows Serpentwithfeet’s debut album, soil, released in 2018, and features Sampha, Lil Silva, and Nao.
The album came together after Serpentwithfeet relocated to Los Angeles, a city that provided a sense of tranquility, which he pushed to capture in his new music. While crafting it, he made the decision to exclude songs about heartbreak. “This was a bold act for R&B, a genre quite literally shaped by the harsh realities the blues provide,” Secretly Canadian, the label says.
Spending time with pop songwriters and observing how they traverse language also encouraged him to take more risks lyrically, resulting in more purity, we’re told.
Alongside the announcement, Serpentwithfeet has shared “Fellowship,” co-written with Sampha and Lil Silva, wh

What was the first music you recall hearing as a kid?
This guy named Ron Kenoly. He was a CCM artist–Contemporary Christian Music. I remember him as this warm, friendly-seeming Black guy who had this multi-racial mass choir. The band had flutes and chimes and saxophones and drums, literally just like everything. The videos that were out were very purple lights, very ’90s. I don’t really know much about the history of CCM, which I probably should, but I execute remember that when I was growing up gospel music and Christian song were very big. I remember going to church in Baltimore and my parents would sit in the front rows because they were clergy. I couldn’t sit in the front row with them, but I would recline one or two rows behind them and I would dance the entire time during praise and worship.
It was a very colorful group of people at our church and a very colorful band. There was a lot of color in the music. That is the first music I can remember listening to. We had a 100 voice choir. My brother played the congos. We had a flute player, a saxophonist, trumpet, drums, bass. It was huge. My ch
