The Album:

Crafting compact jams about complex romantic situations, Verse Simmonds is as a master of R&B storytelling. Sharing a nine-track collection of grown-and-sexy, silky smooth R&B, Verse releases Diamonds, his latest album and his first since 2016’s To All The Girls. Packed with emotionally intelligent, jewel-cut tracks that explore the different shades of love (describing what Verse calls “Situationships”), Diamonds is a potent hybrid of Hip-Hop and R&B, showcasing Verse’s divine singing voice and his structurally sound compositions. Featuring an appearance from Ty Dolla $ign, Diamonds is a genre-bending cocktail of well-crafted R&B, brimming with emotional complexity and musical invention. Released by Verse’s own VVS Society label, Diamonds is available to stream and purchase.

Whether as a lead artist, a featured artist, or a songwriter, Verse graces every track with class and consummate professionalism, making a name for himself as one of the foremost purveyors of mature R&B. Last month, Verse shared the single “Murder Charge,” which features Ty Dolla $ign and earned over 1.29 million plays on SoundCloud. Earlier this week, Verse teamed up with KId Ink to release “Rumpshaker 18,” premiered by Mass Appeal, which already has over 10.4k plays on SoundCloud.

An in-demand songwriter who has collaborated with numerous A-listers in the R&B and pop realms, Verse Simmonds is one of the more successful behind-the-scenes creatives in the urban music industry. Verse has penned hits for the likes of Chris Brown (“New Flame”) and Fifth Harmony (“Top Down”), earned one of his five Grammy nominations for his writing on Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “Who Gon Stop Me” in 2012, and co-wrote 2016’s “Permission,” a Grammy nominated R&B smash for Ro James. Continuing a long-lasting creative partnership, Verse Simmonds appears as a featured artist on “Only 4 Me,” a highlight from Heartbreak on a Full Moon, the new album from Chris Brown, which has over 5.3 million views on YouTube.

Background:

Verse is in a league of his own, and called on by the best to create hits that resonate from now, until forever. No matter what he accomplishes or encounters, Verse will remain faithful to what he has been called to be, a game changer. He has worked with Jay-Z and Kanye on the Watch The Throne album, receiving a Grammy nomination because of that. He has also been called on by Justin Bieber, R. Kelly, Chris Brown, Young Jeezy, TLC, and numerous others. “My goal is to be remembered as the one who gave 100%. I want my music and anything I touch to resonate forever. It is my desire to take people back to a time, or evoke forgotten emotions, when they hear my music, because it’s so raw, honest, and real. I simply want to go in the books as one of the greatest,” is how he describes what he envisions his legacy to be. With his hands in a little bit of everything, from behind the scenes to front and center on stage, his impact will be felt all over.
