October London is in the grips of a winning streak, and he has just added a lap to it. He had been advertizing his third ever consecutive number one single under Death Row Records, and the celebrations have been going wild. The monochrome promo picture shared alongside his post shows London reclining in a chair in that extraordinary suit, looking every bit the confident star he is. Rated R&B presents the new release of this hit, “She Keeps Calling,” which just debuted on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay Chart—his third this year.

The post was short but very grateful: “My 3rd consecutive #1 single on @deathrowrecords // Thank You 🙏 More to come God willing.” Judging by his comment section, it looks like the fans are as excited as he is. One called him “our sophisticated gentleman,” while another said, “Literally just got finished listening to this. It’s a hit 🔥.” The love spread even further, with some fans sharing stories about how they had to choose between seeing him in concert or closing on a property, with his music blasting on the big day.
Not everybody went to bat for his exaltation, though. One commenter basically threw shade saying, “❤️❤️❤️ But it’s a knock off version of Hurry Up This Way Again by The Stylistics!” Ouch! Most, however, have provided pure love, describing his music as “grown folks music” and predicting Grammy wins ahead for him.
The scary thing is that October London wins almost without trying. His type of energy goes down easy, his voice is smooth, and his style says all the right things. Whether going low-key for some soulful tunes or just chilling in a suit that says he owns the place, there just aren’t many out here with the kind of star power that he’s had from day one-a star that doesn’t need clumsy screaming to remain relevant.
Then, there goes the voice. One fan just went out and said, “When he sings you think you standing on the cloud of heaven says.” That is just not hype-that is the kind of reaction that one gets only when an artist truly connects with his audience.”
Overall, October London needs no introduction as he is already teasing the prospect of more music. If his next effort is anything close to the three he has made this year, we may as well start reserving chart space now.

Here’s to the cantankerous one who keeps calling—and keeps answering. By means of soulful melodies or just mere presence, October London is not just making hits; he’s crafting moments, and if the comments can be trusted, the fans are here for all those moments.
