East London-based artist Marco Lowrey is back with “AWAY 3X,” an uplifting Afrofusion and Afro-R&B record built around one simple idea: protecting your peace and letting go of anything that brings negative energy.
Warm Afro-inspired rhythms, soulful melodies and an infectious groove give the track an easygoing feel, while its message encourages listeners to move away from stress, doubt and influences that can disrupt their peace of mind. Instead, Marco uses the song to champion self-belief, resilience, gratitude and maintaining a positive outlook.
“Away 3x” carries the kind of energy that works equally well during a relaxed afternoon, a personal reset or a moment when you simply need music that lifts your mood. Its combination of contemporary Afrofusion and Afro-R&B gives the record a smooth, feel-good character without losing sight of the reflective message at its centre.
At the heart of the song is the importance of being intentional about what you allow into your life. Marco encourages listeners to drive away negativity and make room for confidence and good energy. It is a message that gives the record relevance beyond the music itself, particularly for anyone looking for a soundtrack to self-care, motivation or simply getting back into a better headspace.
Born and raised in East London to African parents, Marco developed an interest in music from a young age. He began writing amateur lyrics and gradually turned that early passion into a serious creative pursuit. Among his biggest inspirations is Michael Jackson, whose influence helped shape his desire to make music.
His musical influences also extend across generations and genres. Ghanaian legends Daddy Lumba, Kojo Antwi and Freddie Meiway sit alongside international names such as Usher, Chris Brown and Nas, giving Marco a broad palette from which to develop his own sound.
Marco has been making music since 2009 and has continued to refine his craft throughout the years. His journey reached another milestone in October 2022 with the release of his EP Against All Odds, adding another body of work to a catalogue that reflects his versatility as an artist.
With “AWAY 3X,” Marco Lowrey continues to explore the meeting point between Afro-inspired rhythms, R&B textures and positive songwriting. The track is ultimately about choosing peace over negativity and carrying the right energy into whatever comes next.
For an artist who has spent years developing his sound and drawing inspiration from both African and international music, “AWAY 3X” offers another glimpse into what Marco Lowrey has been building. And with more music expected from the versatile artist, this latest release looks like another step in that ongoing journey.
