In this new entry in our ‘Diamonds In The Rough’ category, we would like to introduce you to upcoming artist Marquis Nash and his EP titled Two Sides: Gemini.
Rising R&B artist Marquis Nash has officially released his long-awaited debut EP, Two Sides: Gemini—a deeply personal, emotionally rich project that explores the duality of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. With nearly a million combined streams and views across Spotify, YouTube, and Instagram, this release marks a major milestone in the journey of an artist whose sound is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
A Sonic Reflection of Love’s Highs and Lows
Two Sides: Gemini is a six-track offering rooted in the intricate emotional layers of relationships—be it the warmth of romance, the ache of a breakup, or the ever-evolving relationship we hold with ourselves. The EP captures the essence of love in all its complexity, wrapped in hypnotic, island-infused production and Nash’s smooth, crooning vocals.
Whether it’s the slow burn of “Take Our Time,” the breezy intimacy of “Cool,” or the raw honesty in “Forgive Me,” each track peels back a new layer of vulnerability, showcasing Nash’s ability to be both seductive and self-reflective.
The Making of a Modern R&B Voice
Marquis Nash began his R&B career in 2020, in the thick of the global pandemic—a time when the world was isolated but in search of connection. With a lifelong passion for music in various forms, he found his voice in the emotional depth of 90s R&B, often considered the genre’s golden age. Drawing inspiration from that era, Nash injects his music with a modern flair and Caribbean-inspired rhythms that bring warmth and movement to the introspective themes he explores.
Already boasting over 100,000 listeners across streaming platforms, Marquis Nash is carving out a distinct space in the contemporary R&B landscape. His ability to blend soulful storytelling with seductive melodies is quickly making him one of the most promising new artists to watch.
Tracklist:
-
Take Our Time – A patient, sensual opener that sets the tone for deeper emotional dives.
-
Capuccino – Smooth, rich, and comforting; a sonic parallel to its namesake.
-
Voices – A haunting, introspective track that explores inner conflict and self-awareness.

The Gemini Duality
True to its title, Two Sides: Gemini leans into the duality that defines both the astrological sign and the human experience. It’s an EP of contrast—of joy and pain, confidence and insecurity, connection and solitude. Nash doesn’t just sing about love—he dissects it, lives in it, and ultimately learns from it.
As Marquis Nash continues his ascent, this debut EP proves that he is not just another name in R&B—he is a storyteller, a mood-setter, and a voice for those navigating the beautiful chaos of the heart.
