With an upcoming album and a nationwide tour, Musiq Soulchild's is taking time to appreciate the "Simple Things" on his new single.

The Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter has a new album on the way, and the record's J. Troy-produced debut single sees him expressing gratitude for a fulfilling relationship instead of focusing on materialistic things like fame and a nice car. The song's beautiful harmonies and straightforward message are reminiscent of some of his earlier work.

"Simple Things" is the first single from Musiq's upcoming album on eOne Music/SoulStar Music Company. It will be another addition to an illustrious career that includes two platinum albums, two Gold albums, and 12 Grammy nominations - including one from his most recent album, 2016's Life On Earth.
