Marcus “MarcLo” Lomax Steps into the Spotlight with His Soulful New Single “Interest”

Multi-Grammy-nominated artist, songwriter, and producer Marcus “MarcLo” Lomax is entering a new era, this time front and center. With the release of “Interest,” MarcLo sets the tone for what feels like his most personal chapter yet. Bright, warm, and effortlessly groovy, the single is rooted in gratitude and grown-up love, showcasing an artist fully comfortable in his own voice.

Directed by Aaron Katter, the official video mirrors the song’s sincerity and ease. “Interest” was the first record created for MarcLo’s upcoming project, and it serves as the emotional anchor. Written as an ode to his partner, the track reflects on a transformative kind of love that changes you in ways you can’t quite repay, no matter how deeply you try.

Long respected behind the scenes, MarcLo’s musicianship has helped shape records for artists like Dua Lipa, Zedd, Miley Cyrus, Lil Wayne, and Elmiene. Now, he’s stepping forward with intention. Following a recent jam session with Justin Bieber and a strong co-sign from collaborator Teddy Swims, his momentum feels natural and right on time.

“Interest” builds on the foundation laid by “Marvel,” a performance-driven release that highlighted MarcLo’s deep musical roots. Channeling the lineage of Maxwell, D’Angelo, and Musiq Soulchild while existing in the same creative space as Leon Thomas, H.E.R., Daniel Caesar, Lucky Daye, Ty Dolla $ign, and Jacob Collier, MarcLo is crafting a sound that honors tradition without feeling nostalgic.
