““Motivation” is an expression of gratitude and respect for those women. Beyond the people in his own life, he also hopes that it can spread the message to all women of their immeasurable value. Marquis tried to break away from the current trends in R&B music and take inspiration from Gospel and Soul to communicate his authentic emotions. The song calls back to the era when his big inspirations were at the height of their popularity: 90s R&B, Boyz 2 Men, Tevin Campbell, Justin Timberlake, and NSYNC. Beyond those inspirations, Marquis’ music has a distinct voice and lyrical style that separates him from the rest of the musicians in his field.” - Daniel Garritson
“With his soulful voice and powerful lyrics, Aries Marquis is an artist to watch. Whether he's performing live or recording in the studio, his music is a testament to the power of perseverance and the human spirit.” - Indiefferential
“Indeed. From listening to and studying the musical legends and gospel greats to singing in his church choir to enlisting in the U.S. Army to performing and touring extensively as a solo artist, Marquis has come a long way, and with that comes maturity. His respect for the musical craft shows in his technically dazzling vocals and thoughtful lyricism. When you listen to Experience, you get the feeling this is an artist who has truly studied and appreciated the R&B and soul greats. Most of all, this is real life storytelling coming from an authentic modern voice.” - Darryl Sterdan
“Aries Marquis is disrupting the current music landscape with his quintessential indie project Experience. The 7-track album is a well-rounded rhythm and blues expo from the perspective of Marquis’ real-life encounters.” - The Mouthsoap
