[@sirch4d]

The fit..... the atmosphere.... all dope

[@frenchweewee4444]

Totally agree!

[@frenchweewee4444]

For whatever reason he is giving me Prince vibes. He has a real sexy unisex vibe. Everything from the barefeet, the hat, the outfit, his expression, his range, it all blends extremly well! Every once in a while, special gifted musical talent comes along, he definetly is amoung that circle. Keep blessing us with your voice!

[@ACONNECTIONTV]

Show off and Go off king.

[@aummura]

The groove on 'Prepared' is ultra-sick!

[@DurandbernarrTM]

I sped up the bpm just a smidge to give it that lemon pepper kick 😉

[@ARIDESIGNZ]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Music for the grown & sexy. Music that makes your soul smile😇

[@frenchweewee4444]

yes!

[@internetathi]

I feel a rush of confidence when I watch Durand perform live. His personhood/personality really shines true and through his music. Something so cathartic about his music. I pray he comes to South Africa soon.

[@mae__]

It's the earring for me😂🔥

[@moormelaninplz6744]

Had my boyfriend on his back to this cut, that’s how much this shit turns me on. ☺️ This is the purpose of music, the feeling it gives you... this is real R&B.

[@christurner8668]

Dang

[@tcrump212IsLmbrJck_t]

Yes, God. Just, yes.

[@LittleMissSunshine721]

I absolutely love his voice. Reminds me of a new age Rashann Patterson.

[@jonphiahart3457]

Yep

[@dejamareetv1807]

It’s “Prepared” for me!!!! My song 🤍😭

This really is my favourite track (Prepared respectively) on this album. It's rare for me to listen to an album all the way through but actually not listen to my favourite constantly cause I want to give it the space it needs to fill my senses. This is probably my favourite album of the year. 👌🏾❤️
