Anthony Llewellyn Is Bringing Classic Soul Back to Grown-Up R&B

There’s a particular kind of R&B that doesn’t chase trends — it trusts the song. That’s the space Anthony Llewellyn has carved out for himself. The Grenadian-American recording artist, songwriter, and producer builds his sound at the intersection of classic soul, jazz, funk, and cinematic storytelling, filtered through a contemporary R&B lens that feels both nostalgic and current.

Working under the KAMO/TMS Studios imprint, Llewellyn has spent his career refining a sound rooted in romantic balladry — music made, in his own words, for people who still believe a song should mean something.

The Balladeer

His 2026 album, The Balladeer, is his clearest statement yet. Across 11 tracks — including the title track “The Balladeer,” “7 Flights,” “Eye Adore U,” “Love Unconditional,” and “A Different Kind” — the album moves through love, faith, vulnerability, and the complexities of mature relationships. It’s soul music for adults: unhurried, emotionally direct, and unafraid of sincerity in an era that often rewards irony instead.

One standout from the album’s rollout has been “Savoir Faire,” produced by German producer Jon Limon, which climbed to No. 10 on a Chicago music chart — a sign that Llewellyn’s sound is finding an audience beyond his home base.

The Balladeer is out now on Apple Music, Spotify, and other major streaming platforms via KAMO/TMS Studios.

A Global Sound

Part of what sets Llewellyn’s music apart is its collaborative reach. He’s worked with artists and producers spanning the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and the Philippines — a cross-continental approach that shows up in the record’s polish without diluting its soul-and-jazz foundation.

That collaborative instinct is only deepening. Llewellyn is currently at work on his next album, The Crooner, an ambitious follow-up featuring contributions from several Grammy Award-winning producers. It’s shaping up to be the next evolution of his artistry — bigger in scope, but still grounded in the sophisticated, grown-up R&B and soul that defines his catalog.
