avery j. Unveils Sultry New R&B Single “fetish”

avery j. is set to captivate listeners with the release of their highly anticipated R&B single fetish., hitting all platforms on August 30th, 2025. This track marks a bold evolution for the artist, blending the lyrical finesse of their hip-hop roots with the smooth, intoxicating melodies that have recently redefined their sound. With a nod to Frank Ocean’s storytelling and a surrealistic vibe reminiscent of a David Lynch screenplay, fetish. promises to be a genre-bending journey into desire, obsession, and artistry.

The inspiration for fetish. stems from a pivotal moment in avery j.’s career. Following the viral success of a raw Instagram reel for their previous single enjoyher., the artist found a new, passionate audience drawn to their soulful voice and infectious hooks. This unexpected wave of support dwarfed their established rap fanbase, pushing avery j. to pivot from their 15-year rap legacy into the sultry world of R&B. fetish. weaves a narrative that extends the enigmatic storytelling of Frank Ocean’s Pyramids, blending timelines and surreal elements to create a sonic experience that’s as cerebral as it is seductive. The track is a self-imposed challenge: to craft a song as sonically lush as enjoyher. while retaining the literary depth of avery j.’s conceptual hip-hop, delivering what they playfully dub “Kendrick Lama R&B.”

avery j.’s latest offering, fetish., arrives as a striking testament to reinvention and artistic bravery. The track shimmers with hypnotic textures, wrapping listeners in an atmosphere that feels both intimate and cinematic, while avery’s voice glides effortlessly between vulnerability and command. What makes this release shine is not just its polished production but the fearless narrative woven through it—a story that balances sensuality, complexity, and raw emotion. By daring to merge their poetic background with a newfound R&B elegance, avery j. delivers a sound that’s magnetic, timeless, and impossible to ignore, solidifying their place as one of the most intriguing voices in contemporary music.

avery j.’s journey to fetish. is as eclectic as their sound. Once a tastemaker on the now-defunct imeem.com alongside users Loserb0i and Backyy, they built a loyal following through sheer musical instinct until MySpace’s acquisition erased the platform. Undeterred, avery j. channeled their curatorial prowess into creating music, balancing hip-hop production and poetry with a medical career as a Physician Assistant. After earning a master’s degree and navigating the challenges of COVID-era hiatuses, they funded their music dreams while supporting families in need. The pivot from their former moniker “averywordplay” to avery j. marked a bold rebrand, with last year’s enjoyher. single and crave. EP catapulting them to new heights. Personal connections with notable industry figures and surreal jam sessions have only fueled their creative fire.
