NEW MUSIC: LONNY BEREAL FEAT. KELLY ROWLAND – FAVOR (CDQ)

UPDATED W/ OFFICIAL CDQ VERSION

Singer/Songwriter Lonny Bereal returns off the heels of his first buzz single “Don’t Play Wit It” featuring Chris Brown & Busta Rhymes, linking up with another of his peers, the beautiful Kelly Rowland, on “Favor”.  While his previous release was an uptempo, this is a hot, sensual jam, which might have been recorded during their recent session at Jamie Foxx’s studio. It sounds like a rough mix, but I like….what do you think?

UPDATE: Grammy Nominated songwriter Lonny Bereal has teamed up with singer Kelly Rowland for a steamy duet called “Favor” set to be released by Notifi Music Group later this month. The song which was originally co-written by Bereal for singer Chris Brown is the LA based tunesmith’s debut as an artist. The sensual mid-tempo solidifies Bereal’s musical relationship with Rowland with whom he’s worked for several years as a vocal producer and songwriter.
