“Put Down For Love” by River Toussaint is a sultry R&B track that draws you in from the first beat, and doesn’t let you go until the last. River Toussaint is a multi-faceted artist from Chicago who champions a unique blend of pop, R&B, and soul. Her captivating vocals set her apart from the crowd, calling to the listener like a siren- especially in this alluring song about love and obsession. The intriguing blend of raw storytelling and catchy production makes this song a sonic journey you don’t want to miss.
A heartbeat kick drums builds tension at the beginning of the song as interesting sonic textures click across the track. For much of the song, the steady rhythm provides a backbone for the eclectic instrumentation to come in and out of the arrangement, providing quick flashes of ear candy that leave you wanting more. Slow, smooth horns weave their way through the track, perfectly setting the anticipatory and hungry mood. Toussaint’s raspy, enveloping vocal offers an impassioned performance that hypnotizes you.
Lines like “begging on my knees” and “I’m burning out” tell us just how all-consuming Toussaint’s love is. She is completely enraptured with this person, and would let them do just about anything to her. For anyone who has experienced intense infatuation, Toussaint’s surrender to her desires will feel very familiar. A particularly fun moment of the track is the jump into the bridge, where a drum fill leads you to the soaring, dense soundscape that seems to be the culmination of all of Toussaint’s feelings
