SONG DESCRIPTION:
Mervin Mayo is a Soul man, Like the one who “Got what I got the hard way” in the 1967 Sam & Dave song of the same name. He was raised in a rough Richmond, VA neighborhood where gunfire was a daily soundtrack. Wanting to rise above his circumstances and become a beacon to the troubled youth in his hood, he became a Police Officer. Mayo’s other passion was music. He grew up singing in church and later with a male R&B group, CHARM, just for fun. Then, a 2020 video of him performing Marvin Sapp’s “He saw the best me ” at a church service transformed him into an overnight sensation on social media. Now, he’s releasing his first major-label single, “The Best Friend,” Through TYSCOT Records which broke the careers of gospel legends such as John P. Kee and Deitrick Haddon.
The simple ballad about Jesus being a man’s best friend is primarily framed around acoustic piano with all other instrumentation serving as secondary coloring. It’s the perfect showcase for Mayo’s intense, raw old school vocals which slide from husky baritone growls to sweet falsetto sighs. The declaration shines with the same naked intensity of Johnathan Butler’s “Falling in Love with Jesus” or Bryan Andrew Wilson’s “Turning Away.” It should serve as a warm, comforting introduction of Mayo to the gospel world and the foundation for a long career ahead.
