The resurgence of real R&B has a name—and it’s Sentury. The Houston-based vocal group has officially claimed the #1 spot on the Mediabase Urban AC Chart and landed a #2 ranking on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay with their electrifying new single, “Only Human.” With this breakthrough moment, the quartet reaffirms their place as torchbearers for a genre built on harmony, heart, and timeless soul.
Released in 2025, Sentury’s “Only Human” is more than just a song—it’s a powerful tribute to a classic. Reimagining the 1980s hit by Jeffrey Osborne, the group breathes new life into the beloved track while honoring its emotional core. Co-writer and legendary producer Barry Eastman was among the first to applaud the rendition, stating:
“I’m absolutely honored that you covered this song. Your version is slamming! I love it!”
Such praise doesn’t come easy—but Sentury makes it look effortless.
Comprising CJ, Leo, AJ, and Rico, Sentury is a masterclass in modern R&B elegance. Their vocals glide with precision and passion, locking into harmonies so rich they could make the moonlight blush. This isn’t manufactured magic—it’s pure chemistry, the kind that turns notes into narratives and stages into sanctuaries.
Their sound? Silken and cinematic. Sentury wraps classic soul in modern polish, delivering velvet harmonies over live instrumentation and sleek production. Think vintage Cadillac meets penthouse vibes—romantic, refined, and rooted in the traditions of real R&B. They bring back the days of slow dances, whispered phone calls, and heart-spoken honesty.
Whether crooning for a candlelit crowd or rocking a main stage, Sentury’s presence is magnetic. Their performances ignite rooms from LA lounges to Southern soul festivals, drawing listeners into a shared emotional space where every lyric feels personal.
But this milestone is just the beginning.
With nine Billboard-charting singles under their belt and now a national #1 hit, Sentury is leading a new wave of grown-man R&B—music for lovers, thinkers, and anyone ready to feel again. Their brand isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about evolution. They don’t copy the past—they elevate it.
So if you haven’t tuned in yet, it’s time to let Sentury take you there. Smooth, stylish, and steeped in soul, CJ, Leo, AJ, and Rico are showing the world what it truly means to sing with purpose and perform with power.
Welcome to the next Sentury.
