DNDTILSUNDAY — The Voice You Needed

written by

CLINT PORTE

DNDTILSUNDAY emerges with a sound that feels intentional, intimate, and undeniably grown. Early listeners and critics are already drawing comparisons to the emotional depth and sonic precision of artists like Drake, The Weeknd, Giveon, Fridayy, Teddy Swims, and Tank. Yet, DNDTILSUNDAY stands firmly in his own lane, introducing a refined, cinematic evolution of modern R&B.

The name, DNDTILSUNDAY, serves as philosophy over branding. “Do Not Disturb Till Sunday” represents the artist’s intentional disconnect from life’s chaos, love’s complications, and the grind of the week.

It’s about creating space to reflect, feel, and reset. Sunday becomes sacred time, logging out of the world to log back into self. That energy is woven into every record.

His debut project, Terms & Conditions, is a bold 32-track body of work that moves seamlessly across R&B, house music, ballads, and classical influences. The album features live choir arrangements on select records, adding a spiritual and cinematic layer rarely heard in contemporary R&B. It’s expansive yet cohesive, sensual yet restrained, with minimal profanity, maximum intention. This is 'grown-folks' music, built on emotion, boundaries, love, and accountability.

Upon release, Terms & Conditions made an immediate impact, charting at No. 5 on the iTunes Top 200, signaling strong sales and a clear demand for this level of artistry. The album was released exclusively on Apple Music and iTunes on February 1st and is set to expand worldwide by Valentine’s Day, positioning it as a defining soundtrack for intimacy and reflection.

The project’s leading single, “Let Me Show You,” charted at No. 23 on iTunes, further solidifying DNDTILSUNDAY as a rising force. Critics are already calling the album “the new wave,” with many suggesting it signals the emergence of a new lane within R&B—luxurious, emotionally intelligent, and sonically precise. Think a Fifty Shades of Grey–type vibe, elevated and executed with taste, depth, and restraint.

The entire album was written and produced by Luciano Layne, a Grammy-nominated writer and producer, as well as an A&R at Virgin Music Group, operating under a joint label venture with Universal Music Group. Together, they’ve crafted a sound that feels both timeless and forward-thinking—music that honors classic R&B while pushing the genre into its next chapter.

Soon to come is Terms & Conditions Side B, an alternate, spiritual successor to Side A that features smart, melodic house music and dance vibes, promising an upbeat experience that balances dance-driven concepts with DND's trademark introspective lyricism.

It’s been a long time since R&B and music sounded like this. DNDTILSUNDAY isn’t chasing trends—he’s setting the terms. And if the early response is any indication, this is only the beginning of something much bigger.
