Singer-songwriter and performer Lavito unleashes a versatile side to his artistry with his latest album, “Green Velvet.”

A superstar in his own right, Lavito has been on a rapid rise ever since he stepped into the music arena. The “Dragon Slayer” hitmaker’s unwavering commitment to artistic integrity sets him apart. He is someone who rejects industry trends and instead draws from his own diverse experiences to create a fresh and distinctive sound. With his undeniable charisma, epic harmonies, relatable lyricism, and genre-bending creativity, Lavito has been reshaping today’s musical landscape and continues to do so with new releases; coming back harder with tracks that ooze raw talent, incredible penmanship, and critically deserved acclaim.

Talking about acclaim, it is a no-brainer that his latest album, “Green Velvet,” deserves exactly that. More than the captivating music and emotionally resonant lyrics, this album showcases Lavito’s growth not only as an artist but also as a human being. I had the time of my life listening to the jams that unfolded with undeniable authenticity and catchiness as he captured the essence of life, love, growth, summer, and everything in between.

The opener, “Green,” unfolds with dramatic flair. This jam serves as a precursor to what to expect, and as it progresses, that emphatic blend of hard-hitting percussive beats and synths provides the perfect backdrop for Lavito’s distinct vocals, which are emotional as well. The music has been crafted with precision, creating an uplifting atmosphere that is both invigorating and liberating. Each beat and synth line is meticulously designed to evoke a sense of excitement and possibility, making it impossible not to feel a surge of optimism while listening.

“Velvet” is where pop meets hip-hop, and the end result is something that is hauntingly beautiful and comes off cinematic as well. There is something distinctively familiar about this jam, like you’ve heard it before, except you’ve not, and that is what makes it even more intriguing. The vocals are evocative, the production is high-end, and the execution is first-rate. I feel that this jam belongs to an epic film or TV series thanks to its haunting allure.

With “Viaje,” Lavito delves into this reggaeton territory, capturing the authentic spirit of Latin music with undeniable finesse and aura. This collaborative tour de force featuring J Mitzu is a personal favorite. It’s actually the little things that matter because there is a way that Spanish-flavored chorus really stuck with me, and I have been feeling it play in my head long after the song’s final notes faded away. I absolutely loved this jam, it gives me those ‘wow’ vibes!

Another catchy and infectious masterpiece is “Healing,” which features an upbeat pop foundation and relatable lyrics that capture the essence of being head over heels in love with someone, and you can’t think beyond the fantasy and intimacy of you two being together.

“You & I” is the kind of jam that is mellow yet expressive. It keeps on transcending as the unmistakable electro-pop beats transport a listener to another new dimension. If summer had a touchable feeling, then this would be it right here!

“Waking Up” featuring Charlie Aylesbury, is another ear candy that features a vibrant concoction of pop beats backed by Lavito’s stunning vocals and Charlie’s equally charming vocals that complement the jam and elevate it to new heights. When this jam starts playing, all caution is thrown into the wind as you move with carefree abandon, dancing like it’s your last day to do it. The jam is simply infectious.

“Green Velvet” is quite simply a transcending tour de force that showcases the incredible musical gifts of Lavito. You are spoilt for choice, as the music makes you feel heard and entertained in equal measure.

Worthy of fanfare, it is such a pleasure to recommend to you this magical work of art from an artist at the summit of his creative expression; Enjoy!
