One of the best kept secrets to the future era of smooth R&B may be Jesse Boykins III. While his street neat appearance might lead you to doubt (a sad mistake to say the least), his voice and musical presence is highly convincing. Point being: The brother can sing! Vocally his talents seem endless, winning over several hearts as he continues to  develop in his career. The Chi-town native ups the soul ante with ‘Closer.’ Originally a hit off of Corrine Bailey Rae’s The Sea album, Boykins caresses melody of the song with desirable expression. Seeing as how Rae’s version of ‘Closer’ is one of the most popular songs on her album, do you feel Boykins did it justice? Sound off after the drop.
