Singer-songwriter Lavanika, who goes by LAVI, covers her journey as an artist thus far on her debut solo four-track EP ‘529.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced by bassist and regular collaborator sudan<\/a>, the EP title is a wordplay on a traditional 9-to-5 workday routine, knocked back to reflect LAVI’s time dispersed in her career and music, also serving as a nod to the five days taken to complete this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘529’ clocks in at around twelve minutes; hitting first and striking hard is LAVI’s amped-up Hindi-worded drum & bass banger ‘Titli.’ The single scours the fickleness of a heart, and is mapped by glossy vocal textures and flashes<\/a> of a Santoor\/Santur – a classical string instrument. LAVI lauds the 168-170 BPM mix as a “liberation from the limiting definition of success.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pulsating beats continue at a lower tempo as ‘Wait’ sits next, an Afrobeat\/house concoction peppered with jangly guitars, framing a saga of lovers on different wavelengths from each other. Next up is ‘Second Hand Mercedes,’ marked by a grim intro and a gloomy bass-meets-keys score. LAVI lets loose a flurry of R&B-style vocals on this tune about coming to terms with being broke as an artist and her lifestyle in and out of music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Gullible’ rounds out the record and swells with a synth-heavy getup coupled with LAVI’s temperate voice over rhythmic swaying patterns. It speaks to the artist showing vulnerability amidst being caught up in her drive toward reaching her goals and ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
