Alabama-born singer Lendryx is back with a smooth and soulful new single, “Halfway Open.” Produced by Yogic Beats and Jameel “Jproof” Roberts, the self-penned track offers a refreshing take on modern love.

“Halfway Open” finds Lendryx serenading a potential partner who isn’t quite ready for a full-fledged commitment. Rather than demanding an all-or-nothing approach (like Silk Sonic’s “Leave the Door Open”), Lendryx expresses his willingness to take things gradually. “Just give a little of your loving / And I’ll stay, baby / There’s so much love inside you / I’ll wait ’til it’s time,” he croons over the heartwarming melody.

Speaking about the song’s creation, Lendryx beams: “I had so much fun creating this record, grinning the entire way through writing and recording. There’s even a little rap section that I love.” He goes on to explain his motivation: “‘Situationships’ have a poor reputation, so I wanted to share a positive perspective for everyone, even if it doesn’t end the way we want it to.”

“Halfway Open” arrives as the follow-up to Lendryx’s string of 2023 releases, including “Just My Turn,” “Forces,” and “Insomnia.” With its smooth production and heartfelt message, the new single is sure to resonate with fans of contemporary R&B seeking a touch of optimism in the complexities of love.
