Tone Stith Fly Single Signals New R&B Era
Grammy winning R&B artist Tone Stith enters a new phase with Fly. The single drops on December 12, 2025. Fly is the second release from his upcoming album The Edge.
You hear confidence in the opening bars. The groove feels warm. The beat moves with purpose. Fly blends funk textures with modern R&B. The sound feels open. The message feels personal.
Stith grew up playing drums, guitar, and piano. That background shapes his music today. You hear it in the rhythm. You feel it in the structure. Each section carries intention.
The Edge reflects his wider influences. Stith draws inspiration from icons like Michael Jackson, Prince, and Bruno Mars. He does not copy their sound. He studies their freedom. Fly shows that mindset.
You also see his impact behind the scenes. Stith wrote and produced songs for Chris Brown, including tracks from 11:11 Deluxe. That project won Best R&B Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards. He also toured with H.E.R. in 2018. Those experiences sharpened his voice as a performer.
The numbers support the momentum. Stith has over 260 million global streams. His Asian audience continues to grow. He now counts 20,000 monthly listeners in the Philippines. Japan and Indonesia follow close behind. You see a clear regional connection forming.
Fly sets the tone for The Edge. The album leans into funk, soul, and pop elements. The songs move beyond traditional R&B forms. Stith wants you to feel energy first. He wants the sound to speak before labels do.
If you value R&B that pushes forward without losing soul, Fly deserves your time.
