Blending nostalgic soul with modern acoustic charm, “Gotta Let You Know” is a smooth, heartfelt groove that reimagines a classic in the most respectful and refreshing way. Built around a tasteful sample of Musiq Soulchild’s “Just Friends”, this track pays homage to early 2000s neo-soul while carving its own melodic lane.
The instrumental sets the tone immediately—those familiar chords from “Just Friends” hit with a soft glow, gently reworked through an acoustic lens. It’s stripped down but still soulful, giving the song a timeless quality that feels both retro and brand new. Enter Jeremy Passion, whose vocals are—unsurprisingly—flawless. His tone is warm, buttery, and deeply expressive, gliding over the melody with sincerity. Passion doesn’t just sing the words; he feels them, and that emotion spills into every line. His harmonies are subtle but powerful, layering just enough texture to elevate the vibe without overshadowing the acoustic soul of the song.
Lyrically, “Gotta Let You Know” leans into vulnerability. It’s about clarity in love—saying what you mean before it’s too late. The songwriting is clean and intentional, matching the song’s overall feel: direct, honest, and emotionally resonant. “Gotta Let You Know” is perfect for lovers of real R&B, acoustic chill, and honest storytelling.
