Is he related to Micheal essien

[@user-fq6hf5ho6u]

I was waiting for the Church influences.. Manny had to drag it out of him

[@TySoloMusic1]

Loick is actually chris brown levels with the vocals if you know you know. UK dont appreciate or know what to do with raw RnB talent like this. He should have done an Ella Mai

[@shesbaldbutiwould]

he's better vocally than Chris lol

[@jasminepearls1047]

R&B is a black American gentre the people in the UK are caribberans and Africans so this make more sense that is wouldnt be on the level because cutlurally the people in the U.K. and their parents listten to reggae, dancehall, highlife, idk abou zouk. Whereas my parents have always listen to blues, R&B and soul music becase thats their heritage.
