Pop, R&B | Mauvey releases lead single “Way Too Good”
Posted by VMan on December 3, 2020
Born in Ghana, West Africa, and raised between the U.K. and Vancouver, artist and songwriter, Mauvey, filters his unique batch of alternative music with Hip Hop, R&B/Soul, and 80s inspired synth-wave always alongside his message: Love. Love through the creative narratives of intentional songwriting, intelligent melody, and hypnotic beat. Mauvey has been influenced by artists like Michael Jackson, Kanye West, Oumou Sangaré, Prince, Childish Gambino, Labrinth, NAO, The Weeknd, and Andre 3000.
Taken from his brand new project ‘Vancouver’, Mauvey toys with a unique batch of alternative music fused with hip-hop, R&B, soul, and 80s inspired synth-wave. The throbbing bassline, echoing electronic rhythmical patterns combined with Mauvey’s honest lyrics, makes “Way too good” addictive and reflective.
Mauvey’s silky yet raspy vocals feel dream-like. The talented artist is never afraid to pour out what is on his mind and state what everyone thinks. When speaking about “Way too good,” Mauvey says, “Way Too Good is about being convinced that what you feel is love, it’s desperate, delusional and doesn’t care about anyone else’s opinion…you made a pact and neither of you are going anywhere.’ Check out “Way Too Good” above now and stream his full ‘Vancouver’ by clicking here.

Posted by VMan on December 3, 2020
UK based singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Felix is back with a Pop infused jam that is undeniably infectious. “Getaway” is a catchy, mood-boosting and relatable record, written and recorded during the pandemic that follows Felix’s frustrations of being cooped up. Check out a quote from him below and check out the new single above!
“Getaway is a song about how much lockdown made me need a holiday to have a break from being sat in the same 4 walls for 6 months. I got really sick of the zoom calls, not being able to see my mates and not getting out playing shows. I wrote and produced it all in my bedroom which made it a little easier being locked in, but I still really want a holiday.”

Channeling a rich and diverse aesthetic, which sees him borrow from the worlds of indie-pop, soul, and classic disco, his newest delight will firmly fix a smile to your face from start to finish. Listen and watch the visual above now and read a quote from YASSiN on the release below now.
“Take My Time was written in the early months of quarantine, on a dark rainy day. I wrote this song as an escape from the circumstances of the world. It is a love song that embodies the pure joy of being with someone you love. It has a hint of silliness to it. It is a dreamers song about forgetting the complications of the world and feeling free with your partner. I say at the beginning of the track “Maybe stand a little closer” Which is something I hope people do when they dance to this one. It’s also me dreaming of the day where we don’t have to be 6 feet apart from each other. This song to me is about true love that you’d spend a life waiting for, hope that gets you up and has you moving forward even in bleak days, and pure ridiculous fun.” – YASSiN

Posted by VMan on November 30, 2020
Boasting a 5-track treasure trove of rich ups and emotional downs, Lane Change EP is jam-packed with so many relatable, immersive moments that it’s overflows with pleasure right where it should.
With wide-audience leaning sounds and hooks abound, like “Mi Amor,” to a more testimonial-leaning minor-chord vibe, like in “Timeless,” the spectrum offered with the highly catchy multi-genre journey is dynamic.
Lane Change EP overall encompasses hitting ‘go’ rather than ‘stop,’ pushing forward rather than giving in, and so on. A high point in meaningful messaging expressed on the EP.
“I wrote ‘Water’ during these tough times we are all facing around the world. I struggled as many others have too, knowing what’s true or false these days. With all the fake news and false information spreading on social media, ‘what do I believe’ and at the end of the day we have to push through all the information and remain true to finding who we are and what we believe in.. ‘gotta be better for me’.”
– Jvanz
With an enticing music video to match for, “Water,” the spectrum of unique content paired with EP is another category to highlight, as a positive, for the artist.
