Love means something different depending on who you’re giving it to and what moment you’re in. Romance, self-care, family, vulnerability—each requires its own language and attention, which Kotrell’s EP “Love Is…” addresses across six tracks of Afro-soul, R&B, and Afropop.
“Now and Always” and “Smile for Me” focus on romantic devotion, celebrating commitment and the small joys that make relationships work. “No Worries Zone” turns inward, emphasizing self-care and finding peace when everything feels uncertain. “Brother” honors sibling bonds and the family loyalty that stays strong despite physical distance. “Love You Tomorrow” explores the fear of opening up to someone new, while the outro “Love Me” concludes without resolution, serving as a vulnerable plea for reassurance. Kotrell’s emotive vocals and songwriting on this project established him as a rising voice in African pop-soul before his 2024 follow-up “Forever,”.
