The veteran Kansas City disc jockey Chuck Haddix sometimes characterizes sexy sounds as “music for enhancin’ your romancin’.” While Haddix is unlikely to add Julian Vaughn’s polished form of R&B-informed smooth jazz to his roots-oriented playlist, the artist is responsible for some of the sultriest music currently emanating from Kansas City. "Loving You", a track on the 2021 album Chapters of Love, exemplifies Vaughn’s approach. His electric bass gently massages the melody while female vocalists seductively reference Bobby Womack’s 1982 hit “If You Think You’re Lonely Now.” As with the rest of the undemanding Chapters of Love, it’s insinuating aural wallpaper.
