Loveta - EP Review: More Than Fun
0
Otautahi based pop artist Loveta launched her debut EP More Than Fun on November 18th.
The EP is a collaboration with musician Wulfie (Tim Heeringa) and made with support from NZ On Air's Development Fund. The result is a shimmering pop debut, with infectious hooks and glistening production.
Loveta is the musical moniker of Lauren Marshall, who, funnily enough, I went through high school with. She was a few years older than me, and I remember her singing in school assemblies often. When I stumbled across her latest project, I jumped at the chance to see what she has been up to, and was not disappointed in the slightest.
The EP begins with title track More Than Fun, a disco infused track that immediately made me want to get up and dance. Slick guitar riffs accompany Loveta's strong, soulful vocals. A stand out on the EP, More Than Fun is the perfect introduction to this up and coming artist.
Other stand out tracks include Drive, a dreamy synth pop bop, the perfect track to accompany you on those summer road trips, but the remaining tracks are just as good in their own right. There is not one song on More Than Fun that I would skip, they're all that good.
More Than Fun oozes infectious, funky, and nostalgic pop gems. Production is highly polished, each track is unique and shines on their own, yet blend perfectly together. Loveta has a unique sound, a blend of early 2000's dance pop and RnB inspired instrumentation. Loveta is an exciting up and coming artist and deserving of all the success. I look forward to seeing where this project takes her.
About Loveta
Lauren recently made her official debut as Loveta on the ambient synth-heavy ballad Love Won't Run Away by Wulfie, and is set to make her mark on the music world with upcoming releases in 2022. Stay tuned!
