R&B chart topping group Sentury continue their Billboard run as “Forever” climbs to #13 on the R&B Airplay chart and lands on Billboard’s Top R&B Songs of 2025! The track’s sustained growth reflects real listener connection – a slow-burn Grown Man R&B record anchored by pristine harmonies, live instrumentation, and timeless romance.
Following their Billboard #1 Adult R&B hit “Only Human” and nine total Billboard chart entries, Sentury have become a trusted name for audiences seeking classic soul with modern polish. “Forever” is the kind of record that rewards continued spins – elegant, emotionally resonant, and built for longevity.
With roots deep in Houston, TX, R&B powerhouse Sentury is carrying the torch for the Golden Era of modern R&B. Their music nods to the legacy of classic groups, with rich layered harmonies and heartfelt storytelling combined with a sleek modern edge. Together, Leo, CJ, AJ, and Rico deliver what they proudly call “grown man R&B.”
Sentury’s origins trace back to church, with all four teen members finding one another while singing at services and fellowships. The group initially began in 2011 with a tight musical bond between Leo, AJ and Rico, but they knew they needed a special fourth to complete the group. When they discovered the enormous talent in CJ, they wasted no time. After getting a seal of approval from CJ’s mother, the magic of Sentury was formed.
Sentury’s style is silk in motion. They embody rich harmonies, vintage cool, and unapologetic soul draped in smooth suits and dimly lit desire. Blending smooth velvety vocals, swaying basslines, and rich live instrumentation, their sound is seductive yet understated, emotional yet resilient, and classic while still fresh.
The hitmakers have nine Billboard charting songs. Initially signed with a major label, they made the decision to go independent when Leo of the group founded his own record label, Gateway Records. This decision let Sentury obtain full creative and promotional control, fueling their success. Their 2025 single “Only Human” is a fresh but faithful reimagining of the Jeffrey Osborne classic. The single climbed to #1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B chart and electrified audiences nationwide, garnering praise from industry legends including the original hitmakers themselves. The achievement cemented Sentury as not just carriers of the R&B tradition, but as innovators shaping its future. Sentury’s latest release “Forever” is an emotionally-charged track celebrating the themes of enduring love, devotion, and commitment. The song’s harmonies and melodies beautifully convey the passionate feelings of finding someone who brings pure joy and completes your world.
In an era filled with disposal dating, Sentury stands for something deeper – genuine romance, real connection, and music with meaning. They aren’t just reviving R&B; they’re redefining it for a generation craving authenticity, proving that true soul never goes out of style.
