Every year around Valentine’s Days the singer Quentin Moore delivers a musical gift for his fans. And this year is no exception as he comes with the third installment – the Vday EP Vol. 3.

It is a soulful offering, encouraging all to take a chance on love. He opens up with some nice vocals on All In. In addition to his singing he shows his versatility by playing all the instruments: drums, guitar, bass, keyboard.

On the next number Grammy Award-winning guitar player Mark Lettieri of Snarky Puppy leaves his mark all over this tune. Kenny Washington also helps out on drums.

Quentin Moore moves into the Red Velvet Suite. This instrumental slows all the way down to what Caribbean people call a ‘slow wine’. (The Red Velvet Suite Part 1; perhaps we would hear more from Quentin on this in the future.)

Quentin closes with his interpretation of Tyrese’s What am I Gonna Do.

Valentine’s Day always a busy time of the year for Quentin Moore with a new release; and he becomes a troubadour appearing at the workplace, at dinners, singing love songs to surprised girlfriends and spouses.
