Avant Readies Upcoming Album ‘Can We Fall In Love,’ Drops New Single “Edible”

Avant is returning with new music! From being the first artist on Magic Johnson’s record label, to starting his own label, Avant has trailed a pathway for decades, an continues to succeed.

Avant’s upcoming album, Can We Fall In Love, will be his ninth. Avant’s previous single, Not Gone Lose,” is a tribute to an era which Avant elegantly conveys bringing us back to when ballads were the cornerstone of bringing Black families together. Avant’s current single, “Edible,” is a sensual slow groove song aimed at love making and appreciation.

I can’t change who I am, so I have to give you exactly who Avant is all the time. That’s my main goal when I sit down to record an album. I want to give you that interpretation of what this life is about,” he adds. “This album is about the work the work that it takes to make a relationship work. There are good things and there are bad things, but if there is love, then that is the beginning of fixing the issues.”

Avant describes Can We Fall In Love as an “open-letter with raw honesty and intensity.” Returning once again to add his signature style, producer Travis Sayles joins forces with Avant’s songwriting and lead vocals. The album will be available on Friday, July 10th, via the MO-B Entertainment/SRG ILS Group/UMG label imprint and is available for pre-order now!
