8/10
The young artist Lovella got started at age 12, when she was playing on stage with her father and his band, Warden and Co. These days, at the age 15, Lovella is on her own, and these articulate 5 tracks certainly seem wiser than her years.
“Reality” opens the listen with warm acoustic guitar alongside Lovella’s pretty and powerful voice that’s full of intimate wordplay, and the title track follows with a distinct dreaminess thanks to the spirited electric guitar and expressive singing.
Halfway through, the lush and keyboard fueled “Even The Ocean” embraces plenty of pop ideas, while “Diving Deep” is strong on atmosphere, where a hazy backdrop suits the mesmerizing vocals. “Paralyzed” exits the listen, and carries a bit of mystery in a busier climate that’s stylish and even cinematic.
An impressive start for a young talent with much potential, something tells me that we’ll all be hearing much more about Lovella in the future.
Travels well with: Birdie Nichols- Into The West; Grace Morrison- Maybe Modern
