American R&B singer/songwriter VEDO has a smooth, romantic style reminiscent of Usher, who acted as his coach on the fourth season of NBC's The Voice. During the second half of the 2010s, he released three albums and notched a handful of highly streamed singles, but it was 2020's moody "You Got It" from his fourth album "For You", that became VEDO's breakthrough hit. Working quickly, he followed it in 2021 with his fifth full-length "1320".

I donโฒt blame you for the way that you act
