Roy Woods’ Lucious Vocals Pair With 40’s Moody Production On “Don’t Mind Me”

by

There’s a lot of music to look forward to this year from the OVO Sound team. Roy Woods, specifically, has been keeping fans on the edge of their seats for the release of a new album. He dropped Dem Times in 2020, a six-song EP that held us down throughout the pandemic. However, he continued to keep his foot on the gas with a slew of remixes since then. Still, his 2023 run so far has indicated that he actually has a new project in store and with summer finally arriving, there’s no better time to unleash it.

This week, the Brampton-based star came through with the release of his new single, “Don’t Mind Me.” The slow-burning R&B jam has the moody, spacey feel that became synonymous with OVO Sound, thanks to production by 40. Roy Woods passionate vocal prowess takes center stage as he brings another lush and sultry anthem into the mix. It’s another impressive effort from Woods that has us excited about what else he has in store.

Roy Woods Keeps It Coming

The OVO Sound artist already came through with three records that appear to be intended for his next album. In February, he blessed fans with the release of “Don’t Love Me,” produced by Crater and UpNorth. Then, he slid through with “Young Boy Problems,” a moody R&B jam that further showcases his range.

Last year, Roy Woods spoke to HotNewHipHop where he provided details surrounding his upcoming project, Mixed Emotions. Revealing Drake will executive produce the effort, he said, “I wanted to get my album the best way I could, and with his help, it was perfect. He had a very similar vision of what I wanted, so it wasn’t hard for us to pick songs and go through songs together. He flew me off to the Bahamas, we were listening to songs and going through them. It was amazing.” We’re hoping it’ll see a release date soon. Check out the record above.

Quotable Lyrics
All you had to do was right by me
These mistakes we make we can’t rewind
F***ed your friend didn’t know baby don’t mind me
‘Cause you’re not even a girl I claim as mine

Roy Woods Unveils New Single “Don’t Love Me”

by

The OVO Sound crew is making some serious plays this year, but we continue to anticipate new music from Brampton’s own Roy Woods. In the past few months, we’ve heard new music from Drake, Popcaan, and the ever-mysterious PartyNextDoor. However, we’re still waiting on new music from Roy Woods. The “Gwan Big Up Urself” singer hasn’t released a full-length project since 2020’s Dem Times, which felt like it, unfortunately, fell under the radar and didn’t receive the recognition it truly deserves.

Since then, Roy Woods has warmed up his fans with a slew of records including numerous remixes. Around the time Drake released Certified Lover Boy, Woods flipped “Girls Want Girls” into a RoyMix. Then, he shared a number of singles in 2022, including his collab with DJ Charlie B, “Speeding” and “Insecure.” Each of these records left fans excited for more but he’s yet to provide a concrete date on when his next project will drop.  However, we hope that it’s soon.

Roy Woods Shares His Latest Single, “Don’t Love Me” 

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, Woods delivered an anthem for part-time lovers with “Don’t Love Me.” UpNorth and Crater deliver a woozy and spacey beat that’s perfect for Woods’ vibrato melodies. Throughout the record, Roy Woods details an on-and-off again relationship as he hopes for more transparency within that bond. “You know I’m bullshit shawty/ But girl, I tried to tell you not to love me,” he said. Roy clearly isn’t adhering to the Valentine’s Day agenda on his latest anthem, and perhaps, that’s what more people need around this time of year.

It seems that “Don’t Love Me” might land on his next project, Mixed Emotions, which will be executive produced by Drake. “He wanted to join the process, so I said ‘Yeah, of course,’” he told HNHH. “I wanted to get my album the best way I could, and with his help, it was perfect. He had a very similar vision of what I wanted, so it wasn’t hard for us to pick songs and go through songs together.” We’ll keep you updated on Mixed Emotions. Press play on his new single above.

Quotable Lyrics
Please, don’t say you’re in love
We both know that we go back
We’re like bread and butter
Girl, ever since we linked up 
You’ve had feelings mixed up
