Cyann Colon from Queens just hit us with “Old Fashioned Love,” a track that throws back to when romance had a slow, steady burn. We’re not talking quick flings here; we’re sinking into a love that’s rich, profound, echoing those classic love tales from way back.
Kicking off with mellow keys and a heavy kick drum, the tune moves in a catchy, hip-swaying rhythm that drags you right in. Cyann’s beaming voice holds sway over the airy melodies like the moon’s pull on the tides. Those deep bass notes, with the edgy ripple of a synth growl, give the track a tense edge, while the electro-acoustic percussions add a touch of Afro-Caribbean flavor.
Cyann paints a vivid picture of a relationship where love means taking your time and savoring each moment. “Your sanctuary, heal you up/ Your asylum/ Let’s get away somewhere on the islands” shows her nurturing side, while “Unravel, let down your guard/ You don’t always have to take charge” speaks to a partnership where both can lead and support. Her approach, all rhythmic flow and heat, turns these lyrics into something you can’t just sit still to; it’s a vibe that seeps deep into your bones, gets you swaying without even realizing it.
And while the hook may be a call back to a more traditional, patient kind of romance (“I’ll give you old fashioned love”), it’s not afraid to tap into the racier side of R&B (“Fuck you like I’ve been here before”). It’s a call to live a love that’s about holding dear and loving deep, without speeding through or growing so bored that you’re just going through the motions.
“Old Fashioned Love” has that double charm—smooth enough to make you groove on a packed dance floor, yet sultry enough to sink into alone in a dim room, headphones on and drink in hand. It’s a polished, playlist-topping groove, clearly showing that Cyann Colon can weave magic into every beat and bar.
