Philadelphia-hailing rap and R&B act La’Monte delivers smooth blend of soulful sonics and warm vibes on debut EP She’s Around, a nostalgic yet modern collection of four tracks that take you back in time while also infusing a refreshing feel within you.
From the subtle tempo and mellow jazz instrumentation of alluring intro track “All I Ever Need is Her,” to the calming notes of lo-fi piano that take over on “Tonight,” the album immediately showcases an eclectic mix of sounds that draws music lovers in with a soothing but expansive touch.
The softness of “Tonight,” is contrasted by the banjo-infused title tack “She’s Around,” which draws inspiration from the karate films of the 1970s, before final offering “Take In Slow,” rounds out the project by taking us back to jazz signatures.
Speaking of the EP, the trained musician and self-taught singer-songwriter says, ““This EP was inspired by my love of music, and by a girl who was a potential love interest. The songs are like a drive on a summer’s night. Or the warm feeling of sitting in cozy coffee shop immersing yourself in the live music filling the space.”
Having carved a space for himself for his intimate musicality, La’Monte who has been expanding on his abilities and passion for music has found a place where his artistic expressions are not only seen and heard but felt as well.
