Ray Lavender's latest single, "Steppin' With My Baby," is a vibrant celebration of love and dance that seamlessly blends classic R&B with contemporary flair. Released in May 2023 under Big Shot Music Group, this track marks a significant return for Lavender, who has been a dynamic presence in both the music and acting spheres for over 15 years.
Inspired by the rich culture of stepping, particularly prominent in Chicago, Lavender has crafted a tune that invites listeners to the dance floor. The song features a mellow backdrop, highlighted by funky guitar riffs and smooth electric piano melodies produced by the talented J-Hott Scott. This provides the perfect canvas for Lavender's silky vocals. His lyrics vividly depict romantic evenings filled with dance and connection, making the song an ideal anthem for intimate gatherings and lively cookouts alike.
Lavender's passion for the steppers community was ignited during his time in Louisiana and deepened through his association with Chicago's George and Regina Daniels. This connection inspired him to create a song that encapsulates the joy and unity found in stepping. As Lavender explained to Rated R&B, he aimed to produce a track that brings people together, encouraging them to dance and celebrate love.
"Steppin' With My Baby" serves as the lead single from Lavender's forthcoming album, "Fa Real," which is anticipated to showcase his evolution as an artist. This release follows his 2020 project, "100/Q&C," which featured collaborations with industry heavyweights like Teddy Riley and Tank.
With its infectious rhythm and heartfelt lyrics, "Steppin' With My Baby" is poised to become a staple in R&B playlists, resonating with both longtime fans and newcomers. It is a testament to Ray Lavender's ability to blend tradition with modernity, creating music that transcends generations.
