Congrats on the new single. How did you come up with the music video concept?
We came up with the concept for the new single because we’re telling a Love Story between a couple. We wanted to show the different variations of the relationship leading up to the engagement.
Are you inspired by 90s/early 2000s R&B groups like Blackstreet and Boys II Men?
We’re definitely inspired by ’90s R&B groups like Jodeci, Boyz II Men, Dru Hill, Jagged Edge, 112 and H-Town. Even some ’80s groups like Guy, Boyz II Men and the whole Motown movement.
What’s the overall vision for the group? Tours? Grammys? Collabs?
The overall vision for the group is to make consistent R&B. We’d love the success and accolades that come along with making really good music.

Sentury’s style is silk in motion—rich harmonies,vintage cool, and unapologetic soul draped insmooth suits and dimly lit desire. They effortlessly channel the golden age of R&B: think wine- soaked vocals over slow-dancing basslines, leather-bound notebooks of love letters, and late night phone calls under streetlamp halos. The production is lush but grounded—live instrumentation kissed with modern sheen, like satin slipping over a drumbeat. Their sound is sexy without showboating, vulnerable without weakness, and classic without sounding dated. This is grown-man R&B: respectful, romantic, and full of finesse. You don’t just listen to Sentury— you feel them in your chest. Perfect for riding top-down at dusk, two-stepping at weddings, or sipping slow at a lounge where love still lives.
Their stage presence has magnified audiences from coast to coast. The energy of Sentury is a signature within itself and everything they offer is something each and every individual can appreciate. Music is a gift for the ear and the soul so allow CJ, Leo, AJ, and Rico to upgrade you to the next Sentury.
