Ant Clemons has finally shared his latest solo project, HAPPY 2 BE HERE. Clocking in at 20 minutes, the 8-track EP enlists the likes of Timbaland for “4 Letter Word,” Ty Dolla $ign for “Excited” and Pharrell Williams for “Aladdin.” The rising R&B star, whose songwriting credits include “Mood 4 Eva” with Beyoncé and “All Mine” and Jesus Is King with Kanye West, exhibits his underrated penchant for singing and versatile songwriting. From the vulnerable yet heartwarming atmosphere of opener “Mama I Made It” and “Good 4 U” to the sensuality of “Best Friend” and “Pinky Promise,” Clemons is surely on the path to nothing but good and big things.
