Q. Parker released his new single, "Stare," on August 23, paired with a lyric video. The song is the lead single from his upcoming album, "Evolution of Romance, Volume Two," due out this fall, and continues the singer's self-described mission as R&B's "Romance Dealer."
Parker built his name as a member of the R&B group 112 before establishing a solo career centered on love songs and slow-tempo grooves. "Stare" keeps him in that lane, anchored by the vocal runs and polished R&B production that have defined his catalog.
"There is nothing like when two individuals make eye contact and read each other's soul through their stare," Parker said of the song's inspiration.
The single follows "Evolution of Romance, Volume One," extending a series of themed songs and visuals Parker has built around modern relationships. That earlier volume set the tone for a broader concept centered on attraction and intimacy, one that Volume Two is expected to push further.
"Stare" is streaming now on major platforms, adding another entry to the release calendar ahead of the fuller album drop this fall.
