LAVI$H: The wait for 'You Made A Big Mistake' EP is finally over
You know solid music when you hear it, right? Well, you have 7 songs and 22 minutes to get caught up in a melodic moment - er - moments - coming courtesy of R&B singer LAVI$H and his newly released You Made A Big Mistake EP.
LAVI$H finally delivers his ‘You Made A Big Mistake’ EP to the masses
Whether you’re just now getting put onto LAV or have been rocking with him since his early OVO affiliation days, there’s no better time than now to get into the new project.
Arriving as an artist to watch in 2023, buzzing singer-songwriter LAVI$H unveils his anxiously awaited debut EP, You Made A Big Mistake, alongside a new video for the track “Big Mistake,” out now via Def Jam Recordings. Listen HERE.
Staring down heartbreak head-on, the seven-track project showcases his magnetic and multi-dimensional approach to R&B. Icy piano sets the tone for “Big Mistake” as his pleas give way to gospel-style harmonies on a swooning hook. On “Seventeen,” hummable clean guitar creaks beneath his breathy vocals as nostalgic lyrics captivate. A twinkling starry-eyed melody glimmers through “Piano Man” as he assures, “It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay.” Then, there’s the finale “Our Chapter.” His gritty vocal delivery clashes with soft organ and bluesy guitar for a stunning send-off.
“You Made A Big Mistake is the name of my debut EP, but in reality, the time for revenge has passed,” says LAVI$H. “My sentiment is that our time for war will never be over for them, but it’s over for me… it applies to so many areas of my life. This body of work is best illustrated by the words ‘success is the best revenge’, and I know my growth will haunt some people — but I think there comes a time when you realize it’s time to become timeless. My time is now and forever.”
Still need more from LAVI$H? How about getting into his newly released ‘Big Mistake’ music video? Tap in.
He set the stage for the EP with “We Make Sense,” earning critical acclaim, Complex touted the song among the “Best New Canadian Tracks This Week” and went on to proclaim, “The Toronto-via-Winnipeg Def Jam signee follows up “World In My Hands” with more fire.” Rated R&B applauded, “Driven by a moment of introspection, LAVI$H pairs his open-journal verses with a hypnotizing production for a bittersweet tune about drifting aimlessly through life without a certain someone.”
Discovered by Chubbs from Drake’s OVO Sound who heard LAVI$H’s music and was captivated. Before long, LAVI$H had decamped to Los Angeles (by way of Zambia to Toronto) where he began recording at OVO studios and working with top producers.
“LAVI$H is an artist with undeniable talent, that you can’t fit in a box,” said Chubbs. “I’m truly happy to be a part of his journey.”
He served as support for Jessie Reyez on the UK leg of her tour. Returning to North America, he lit up the stage in Toronto, opening for dvsn. Not to mention, he graced the stage at Sirius XM Presents: PARTYNEXTDOOR & Friends, shining alongside Drake, Smiley, Roy Woods, and, of course, PARTYNEXTDOOR, to name a few.
