Raheem DeVaughn Releases Eighth Studio Album, ‘What A Time To Be In Love’

Raheem DeVaughn’s eight studio album is here! For over a decade, DeVaughn has been on a mission to create music that evokes change while maintaining the energy of love. What A Time To Be In Love features previously released singles “Mr. Midnight” and the powerful, thought-provoking Marvin Used to Say.”

“I have always been part or the culture shift of Soul & R&B from a mixtape level to a mainstream industry level since the early 2000s so album number eight, What A Time To Be in Love will be no less then nostalgic vibes that not only speak to the consciousness and social climate on the world, but also to the lover in you. It’s a classic album,” DeVaughn said.

What A Time To Be In Love is produced entirely by The Colleagues and has DeVaughn fully embracing what he sees as his social responsibility: to inspire and encourage his listeners as they fight for justice and equality. While the album is defined as “movement music,” DeVaughn recognizes the importance of also nurturing and encouraging the emotional connections needed to sustain us during this fight.
