DeWayne Crow Asks for One More Hour on Let’s Make Love Some More

DeWayne Crow comes out of Spring, north of Houston, with the voice of a man who has spent decades keeping rooms moving. In the nineties he fronted Honey Bone. Later he built The Exchange Band around the same circle, with Angelo Flint on lead guitar, and took the floor through Cameo, Luther, Maze, and the kind of Southern soul that still pays rent on a Saturday. They opened for Mel Waiters, The Impressions, and The Temptations. Crow also moved through Houston’s underground R&B and rap circuit, including vintage work tied to Street Military. That history matters because this new single does not sound like a debut. It sounds like a working singer who has already learned how a night is supposed to feel.

The songs, he says, were written years earlier in Atlanta and then forgotten. They came back while he was fighting appendix cancer and the long work of getting well. He is cancer-free now. Let’s Make Love Some More, released on 8 August 2026, was hummed into being at his house in Spring, with Flint helping turn the idea into a track. Crow has called music a universal medicine. Fine. The more interesting thing is what the body does when the medicine starts to work.

There is a moment, after a long illness, that nobody puts on a greeting card. Appetite returns. Not as a speech. As a physical fact. You want coffee that is too hot. You want the radio left on. You want another hour with someone who stayed. Houston already understood that kind of time. DJ Screw taught the city to drag a record until the grain showed and the feeling could catch up. Crow is not making chopped and screwed music here. He is working in the same temperature. The song refuses to rush. The title itself is almost comic after what he has been through. Then it becomes exact. Some more is the whole argument.

The production stays close to the skin. A round synth bass holds the harmonic spine. Rhythm guitars move with a light chorus sheen. The drum machine has a human limp instead of club rigidity. Crow’s voice sits in warm reverb, doubled and lifted into falsetto that opens a little space around the confession. The mood is urban, slightly melancholy, lo-fi on purpose. It borrows from PBR&B, independent synth-pop, and that lush eighties funk that still lives in Houston bandstands, then filters all of it through a home-studio hush. You can hear the room. That is part of the point.

The lyric is more tangled than the press line about two people keeping faith. The chorus turns on a loop that sounds like a vow spoken twice so it will stay. I believe in this love and I confess. I confess in this love and I believe. The verses put jewelry on the table and knock it off. Pearls, gold, diamond stone don’t compare. Someone else broke her heart. Stupidity is not a crime, so he can leave. In the meantime Crow is already in the weather of wanting. The bridge drops the sermon and talks like a kitchen at one in the morning. Netflix. Workouts. A girlfriend’s gossip. Cash. Hustle. The song holds devotion and street talk in the same mouth. That mix is what makes it feel lived in.

Let’s Make Love Some More is a celebration only if you accept that celebration can be quiet. Crow is not decorating survival. He is using the leftover heat of it. The single earns its weight through pacing, texture, and the slightly imperfect analog warmth of a track that began as a hum. What remains is a man from Houston asking for the most ordinary extra. Another chorus. Another hour. Another chance to stay in the room.
