Fueled by an insatiate passion for making music, LoverBoy aims to tell a story through music and hopefully inspire the imagination of others. For this budding singer-songwriter and producer, one of the most rewarding aspects of the process of creating music is hearing what others imagine when listening to his craft. He draws inspiration from personal experiences and real-life events, paving the way for unique artistic expression. He has a resilient spirit that has continued to fuel his creative endeavors with remastered EPs like “My Vault” showcasing his creative depth, versatility, and dedication. His commitment to taking his music to global levels is evident in this overlooked gem. I feel the music in his latest EP showcases an artist with a hunger to assert his musical prowess, and what he needs is for you to lend your ears.
The songs from this new EP were released a couple of years ago, but he felt that they lacked that radio-friendly appeal due to the basic technology he used to master the songs. With his new professional equipment, he decided to remake and remaster the tracks, and that’s how he came up with this new remastered EP. It is important to know that he actually does everything here, from making beats to mixing and mastering his vocals—another huge testament to his limitless gifts and versatility as a producer, sound engineer, and artist.
With an EP with tracks that span pop and emo rap, it is quite evident that these songs were written from a place of both tenderness and strength. It is very satisfying to enjoy the heartfelt lyrics here as LoverBoy puts you right beside him as the story unfolds.
The opener, “Iced Tea – 2023 Remastered Version,” is delectable, with a warm and inviting feeling from the intro. The performance here cuts across pop and emo, with LoverBoy slinking through the rhythm with subtle confidence as the catchy and memorable lyrics wrap around a listener like a warm embrace. The elegant, floaty vocals make all the difference in a track guaranteed to leave a lasting impression on a listener.
“Deadroses – 2023 Remastered Version” features an ear-catching and smooth bass foundation that immediately captivates the listener, laying a steady foundation for this remarkable work of art that hits its listener right in nostalgia thanks to that old-school footing at its core. The depth of the lyricism is attractively supplemented by the dexterous execution of the song. This is one addicting tune that stays with you even when you are not actually playing it.
There is an understated feeling of melancholy exuded in the track “Lost – 2023 Remastered Version.” The gentle guitar melodies provide a captivating backdrop to delightfully complement the spotlight-stealing and deeply touching vocals. The words resonate with such depth and authenticity, making for a heartwarming listening experience.
“Real Life – 2023 Remastered Version” is notably livelier compared to the other tracks. With this tune, LoverBoy adopts a textbook storytelling approach, drawing a listener into this deeply personal story over the subtly upbeat pop foundation.
In the final track, “Next to Me – 2023 Remastered,” LoverBoy enchants with dense instrumentals. This track is also upbeat and comes off as new yet familiar, nostalgic, relevant, and refreshingly innovative all at the same time. The piano hits add that cinematic thrill to the track, accentuating its emotional depth.
If you are looking to quench your thirst with a fresh new sound within the traditions of first-class singing and top-notch production, then I happily recommend this brilliant work of art from an artist at the top of his game.
