Critical acclaim for Land Of CanAan, out now on Bella Union: 

“Florida born Toliver makes silk-lined R&B- channelling primetime Al Green, Philly Soul and The Isley Brothers. Hear this and become a believer.”The Mirror – 5 Stars ***** 

“The emergence of a major soul talent... Each of these 10 songs is meticulously crafted and preformed with a power and confidence you’d expect from a more seasoned artist… Magnificent”Uncut – 9/10 “

Toliver is still in his twenties and there are times here when his natural talent is genuinely frightening.”The Independent on Sunday – 4 Stars **** 

“A sense of verve that recalls Prince in his pomp. Bathe in the melodic glories of tracks such as Stay, Weather Man and Magic Look. A highly original new talent.”Sunday Express – 4 Stars **** “

Beautifully crafted songs… With Adele as a fan and a Jools Holland appearance in the bag, Toliver is surely a musical sensation in the making.”Attitude – 4 Stars **** 

“gorgeous soul reminiscent of Al Green in his prime, the Floridian’s debut album lives up to his varied backstory.”Q – 4 Stars **** 

“Like Parade-era Prince reorchestrated by Owen Pallett… A classic”Sunday Times 

“His sound is a fusion of soaring and often jagged strings, softened by a voice like hot caramel sauce. This guy could give lessons in being smooth.”Shortlist 

“His Honeyed voice and ear for a gratifying hook combine with a tricksy musical intelligence so that the best bits rouse and wrongfoot you in equal measure. “The Observer 

“Land of CanAan’s best moments are the most straightforward: the simpler, driven Try My Best, which combines dramatic strings and tinkling piano, the ethereally beautiful Find Your Way Back or sublime instrumental Repetition.”The Guardian – 3 Stars *** 

“The mix of warmth and sorrow here sees the multi-insturmentalist create an accomplished sound”DIY – 7/10 “Think of Owen Pallet – especially the layered strings looped through a pedal – crossed with a booming soulful voice.”GT 

Marques recently unveiled a stylish b/w video for new single 'Control' which you can watch below
