Brent Faiyaz surprises fans with smooth new single 'have to'

Brent Faiyaz continues to show why he’s one of the most consistent and captivating voices in modern R&B. Late Thursday night, the singer surprised fans by announcing a brand new single, and by Friday morning, 'have to' had officially arrived, catching everyone off guard in the best way possible.

Smooth, soulful, and effortlessly cool, 'have to' feels like a perfect addition to Brent’s growing catalogue of late-night anthems. The track captures that signature Faiyaz sound - laid-back production paired with his soft yet emotionally charged vocals. It’s the kind of song that feels tailor-made for the colder months, offering that cozy, introspective vibe that defines R&B in the fall.

While the release was unannounced, fans have been eager for new music ever since Brent’s last major drop, and this latest offering doesn’t disappoint. The production is minimal but lush, allowing Brent’s voice and lyricism to take center stage. As always, his delivery is cool, detached, and hypnotic - the kind of sound that keeps listeners pressing replay.

As 2025 winds down, 'have to' serves as another reminder that Brent Faiyaz operates in a lane entirely his own. Whether this release is just a one-off or a tease for a larger project, it’s clear that Faiyaz continues to set the tone for modern R&B - smooth, honest, and effortlessly timeless.
