big bubbly graffiti, a city that operates hand-in-hand with the environment so that the skies are never full of smog, rooted in punk and adapted to the neon colors of a brighter future; all of these things are encapsulated by one of my favorite musicians, closest friends, and now ā a booming indie artist that i have the pleasure of managing. *faylovett is a jack of all trades, from funky edits to songs that will never leave your brain as much as you wish they would, he embraces and adds onto an aesthetic that is heavily oversaturated and subsequently dimmed in the current era. take the likes of KKB, 2Hollis, even Snail House and youāve already got an idea of how *faylovettās sound makes you feel. itās nostalgic, but not suffocatingly so. itās like looking at a photograph of you and your partner when you first started dating, part of you misses that fun and colorful youth, yet you find yourself missing ā even more ā what is yet to come. *faylovettās latest single ā*ssn_or_dieā is a track that had me reeling since we first started chatting about its creation: itās a coming of age story told sonically through whimsical video game-y noise and lyrically from the perspective of a hectic, ridden 22 year old mind. the sound of hope for a future and anxiety collide to provide you with the most impactful track ive heard yet out of *faylovettās discography.
alongside his music, *faylovettās chronic online-ness and understanding of his personal brand at such a blossoming stage in his career only add to his likeability. it is likely youāll find a pop culture reference or two scattered about his music, and his youtube/short form content is riddled with it as well. trust me, āget off that f*ckin phoneā is a line iāve had a giggle about way too many times.
and thatās just the magic of *faylovett. heās the pinnacle of everything right with the internet, and moreover, with the freedom of allowing anyone to create content shared to a widespread audience. give ā*ssn_or_dieā a listen and tell me how you feel !
