Sheffield's Lavelle has been plotting a return to music for a while now and started putting the wheels in motion around the end of 2023 with the release of her single 'Baby Boy' and since then has been on a steady incline since releasing more singles, performing around the UK and having a role for the 2024 Mobo awards which took place in the Steel City.
During her career, Lavelle has had a number of experiences from TV appearances, being part of girl groups, working with different producers and live perfomrnaces while trying to find herself and sound. From what we have heard so far, it seems that Lavelle has found that 'it' she was looking for because she has not missed so far.
In a world full of low frequency music and song after song talking about partying, drugs and other nonesense, it is refreshing to hear something more positive, upbeat but still having that authentic RnB feel that has not been diluted by corporates and label executives. If you love you some 90's music or miss the vibe that 80's, 90's and 00's music had, than you will like the music Lavelle has been releasing since her return.
Following the release of 'Baby Boy' Levelle dropped the music video for 'Honest' which we was not sure what to expect but was not disappointed by the single. This is when it became clear to us that she has found her sound and sitting in that space between old skool vibes and new skool sounds. Honest is another catchy song that seems to get stuck in your head after you listen to it.
If you thought the momentum was going to slow down, you would be mistaken as Lavelle is back again with another release and stepped up the visuals to go along with it. This 1 is a slightly different vibe to the previous releases but this is not to say it is any less of a banger.
This new single 'Higher Self' has more of a Afrobeats feel and we can for sure imagine this being performed at festivals next summer. It seems that Lavelle is already putting in the ground work from now to have another busy 2025 performing around the UK.
We have noticed Lavelle is back with a strong team around here including designers and choreographers which is just adding to the new image and vibe she has returned with. Everything about this come back from Lavelle and her digital releases seems just what is needed in the scene right now and we look forward to hear what comes next.
Once you have a listen to some of the songs we have added to this blog, you will understand we she is 1 of Beat 1X Radios choices as a 1 to watch artists we have been featuring on the station. All of her songs are available on Spotify, Apple and other digital platforms so go run up them numbers!
