October London teams up with veteran production duo The Colleagues on “Click Flash,” a breezy, infectious single that aims straight for the heart of summertime R&B. With slick two-step energy and retro-inspired warmth, the track feels like a cookout anthem tailor-made for backyard speakers and front porch slow dances.
“All my people around me / I love them all, yes I do,” London croons, grounding the song in joy and community rather than romantic drama—a welcome shift in today’s R&B landscape.
“We talked about what we feel is missing in R&B,” says Karl “KP” Powell of The Colleagues. “One of the things was ‘feel-good, having fun music.’” Mission accomplished.
“Click Flash” marks the first single from The Colleagues’ upcoming collaborative album with October London, who’s fresh off his 2024 sophomore project October Nights—an album that signaled his transition from channeling Marvin Gaye to embracing his own musical identity. This new track builds on that, letting London flex his charm and vocal finesse with ease.
This isn’t the first time The Colleagues and London have linked up—they previously collaborated on “Like I Know God” from Altar Call, the gospel compilation from Death Row Records. But “Click Flash” ditches the spiritual and dives into celebration, proving that London can glide across moods and genres without missing a beat.
The Colleagues, known for crafting R&B gems with artists like Raheem DeVaughn, Vedo, and Tiffany Evans, continue to showcase their versatility and ear for timeless grooves. Whether curating all-male (Another Love Story) or all-female (Love Dates and Heartbreaks) R&B projects, their dedication to soulful storytelling remains intact.
As October London wraps up his co-headlining October Nights: Calling All Lovers Tour with Tamar Braxton, this new single arrives as a vibrant soundtrack to the season—and a reminder that R&B doesn’t always have to ache; sometimes it just needs to move.
