A Luanda, Angola native who adapted to U.S. culture by studying the music and fashion of the late, great Michael Jackson, Ballad combines classic R&B/pop stylings with a uniquely global sensibility. Appropriately, the indie crooner’s first Booth feature finds him pairing a timeless theme with an exotic setting, sending a special woman his Love From the North African nation of Morocco. Jay Muses‘s low-key R&B production, a slow-burning groove driven by hand drums and sultry guitar riffs, finds the indie crooner pouring out his heart to a woman who’s half a world away. Proving that distance hasn’t done anything to dull his passion, he assures her, “There’s not a day, I don’t think about you.” Whether the apple of your eye is on the other side of the Atlantic or the other side of the bed, Ballad’s latest ballad is sure to stir up romantic feelings - and, in the latter case, possibly more. Those digging it should keep their browsers locked you-know-where for more fresh leaks off the artist’s Euphoria EP, scheduled to hit record stores and online retailers this spring.

Quality baby making R&B music is on the verge of extinction, but there are a few up-in-coming artists who don't want to see it die. One of them is clearly Ballad (not the easiest stage name to Google, FYI), but makes some international bed ruffling music with "Morocco."

This is OK, but not something I'd be running back anytime soon. I think Ballad sounds good, but this song sounds like something that's been done time and time again. Still ready to hear more from Ballad though.

Silky smooth voice, I just need a little more substance in those lyrics. Great chorus, I just want to hear more from the story behind the song.

Love the chorus, it has been stuck in my head. I think the production was solid. I can't wait to hear the rest of the EP.
