GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter DESTIN CONRAD unveils the official video for “MR. E,” a standout track from his debut album LOVE ON DIGITAL, out now via EMPIRE. Set inside a Victorian-style home, the video leans into pre-modern aesthetics with antique furnishings, soft yellow hues, and deliberate shadows that evoke the feel of a pre-digitized world. It’s a thoughtful contrast to the album’s sleek, tech-driven sound, which serves as an ode to the digital era of R&B. Through a series of surreal encounters and fragmented moments, DESTIN navigates emotional dissonance in visual form. The storyline builds toward a quiet climax, where casino chips and hundred-dollar bills are scattered across a poker table, adding a cinematic and symbolic touch. Visually rich and intentionally ambiguous, the video becomes a counterpoint to the album’s sonic world, grounding its futuristic themes in something textured, nostalgic, and human. Watch HERE.

Last week, DESTIN announced his LOVE ON DIGITAL North American headline tour, promoted by Live Nation, in support of his debut album LOVE ON DIGITAL, out now via EMPIRE. The tour kicks off September 13 in Denver, CO, with stops in Houston, Nashville, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Toronto, Chicago, and closing out in Los Angeles. Rising R&B standout Mark Keane will join as support throughout the tour.

Across a collection of smooth, R&B-rooted tracks, DESTIN’s debut album reframes the modern love story–one shaped by FaceTime calls, voice notes, time zones, and touchscreens. With features from Kehlani, Lil Nas X, Teezo Touchdown, and serpentwithfeet, DESTIN blends early Y2K nostalgia with next-gen production, unpacking what it means to seek connection in a digital-first world, weaving humor, heartbreak, and vulnerability into every hook. Listen HERE.

That spirit carries through the rest of LOVE ON DIGITAL, which pulls influence from the nostalgic textures of early-2000s R&B while leaning into its future-facing evolution. On “KISSING IN PUBLIC,” he delivers a queer love anthem wrapped in playful choreography and fashion-forward visuals, gliding through city streets in a celebration of romance in full view. “DELUSIONAL” simmers with longing for someone just out of reach, while “THE LAST TIME” featuring Teezo Touchdown paints the emotional tug-of-war of a relationship that won’t quit, even when both know it should. Each track peels back a layer–setting the stage for a body of work that’s both personal and universally felt. LOVE ON DIGITAL, with its diaristic tone and cinematic feel, offers a raw look at a relationship that bloomed entirely online, and the hard truth that even the strongest signals can still fade. Throughout his debut album, DESTIN takes full ownership of his narrative, stepping into the spotlight as one of R&B’s most essential voices.

LOVE ON DIGITAL marks a major milestone for the rising R&B star, debuting at #3 on Apple Music’s R&B/Soul Albums chart and #7 on Spotify’s U.S. albums chart, garnering 10M streams the first week alone and currently sits at over 31M streams since its initial release. The project has sparked a wave of attention across music and media, earning him cover stories with Spotify’s RNBX Magazine (April 2025) and Yams Magazine (June 2025), alongside standout features with Billboard, Essence, EBONY, and Apple Music’s Nadeska. He recently took the stage for a COLORS performance of “MAKE IT UP” and sat down for a nationally televised interview with ABC News Live, further expanding his reach. Known for his smooth vocals and emotionally candid songwriting, DESTIN is in a defining moment–stepping into his breakout year with style, clarity, and cultural presence.

Raised in Tampa, Florida, DESTIN first rose to prominence on Vine before making his official entry into music. His songwriting credits on Kehlani’s Billboard No. 2 album It Was Good Until It Wasn’t set the stage for his own breakout. In 2021, he dropped his debut project COLORWAY (now with over 120M streams), followed by 2022’s SATIN, and hit the road touring with Syd and Kehlani.

2023 marked his first headlining tour across Europe and the UK, with sold-out stops in Amsterdam, Paris, and three consecutive nights in London. In 2024, he followed up with the dual projects SUBMISSIVE and SUBMISSIVE 2, playing 47 shows across the US, EU, and UK. Over the past year, he’s earned features in Billboard, Essence, VIBE, The FADER, and a digital cover with Gay Times—solidifying his place as one of R&B’s most magnetic new voices.
