Hailing from Northern New Jersey, contemporary R&B rising artist Marlon Paul delivers “Obsessed,” a catchy track that dives into the pull of a toxic relationship.
It’s not only relatable, but cuts through the noise with lyrics that make you feel like you’ve been dropped directly into the scenario he’s describing.
Opening with a hazy, dreamlike soundscape, the track nods to the atmospheric stylings of Drake and 40’s signature production.
Paul’s vocal performance is staccato and, at times, slightly robotic; but intentionally so, aligning tightly with the pulse of the beat.
The lyrical themes are equally strong, with Paul delivering lines like, “Calling upset, you’ve been drinking with some people that don’t love you, so you’re mixing,” which sharpen the track’s sense of emotional tension and spiraling dynamics.
“Obsessed” stands as a compelling single from Paul, signaling a clear and confident direction in his artistic evolution.
