If 2020/21 was a rollercoaster, 2022 is the theme park. It’s the only way rock-pop singer-songwriter, Loviet, can explain it. The quick ride of 2020’s debut three-song EP “Everyone Knows the Thrill When it's Over” turned out to be just a taste of the expansive set her 2021 album “777” had to offer. With the second release, she boldly introduced sound versatility to the speakers, lyrical variety to the ears and a burgeoning songwriter to the crowds.

Loviet’s kept her signature, shimmery hooks and tell-all emotions rooted in party sweat, but mastered a cathartic flavour in all seven songs she wrote, sang and produced during the planet-wide period of self-reflection. Led by the lead single, “Dullshine”, the album’s romanticized teen memories, inner battles won and lost, and existential sparring with the future easily duet with classic 90’s grunge and 80’s synth on the side. The whole album’s nostalgic thread pulls together a generational gist wrapped in poetic power that anyone can relate to.

As her body of work grows, it’s clear that Loviet’s here to take up some serious space on the edge of pop’s dancehall mold. A good measure of fuck-it undertones live in her exhales to help counterattack the industries plastic and emphasize her see-through approach to real stories and gutteral songs. It’s a deliberate move by an artist who wants to see where things can go before they close the gates. This is a tour of her theme park after all.
