New Video: Q Parker of 112 - "Keep On Lovin'"

R&B powerhouse and Grammy-winning founding member of 112, Q Parker, unveils the visual for his latest single "Keep On Lovin'" inviting fans into an intimate world where passion, vulnerability, and desire take center stage. 

 

The single, already embraced by fans for its smooth vocals and evocative lyrics, comes alive in the video, which captures the essence of the song’s refrain:

“Keep on love, baby, keep on lovin’ me.”

With cinematic imagery, Parker translates the sensuality of the record into a visual language that mirrors the body’s unspoken conversations and the magnetic pull of love. 

 

“When your body speaks, love listens,” says Parker. “This song is about surrendering fully—mind, body, and soul—and the video reflects that moment when passion and connection become undeniable.” 

 

Known for shaping R&B classics with 112 and penning hits for artists like Pink, Faith Evans, and The Notorious B.I.G., Parker continues to bridge timeless tradition

with modern storytelling. His solo artistry has already reached the Billboard charts with

“BEG,” and with “Keep On Lovin’” he reaffirms his place as one of the genre’s most enduring voices. 

 

Fans can expect more music from Parker later this year, as he prepares to release his highly anticipated debut EP “Evolution of Romance”.
