Lloyiso Tells Apple Music About His EP, ‘Seasons’

Embed –

‘Seasons’ is about all the seasons of life, what we go through and what we feel whenever we go through something, and what we go through to get us to a place that is peaceful for us. ‘Seasons’ is all the way from winter to spring to autumn to summer, so it’s all the sadness and all the happiness.

Lloyiso Tells Apple Music About his Gospel Influences

Embed –

I feel like coming from a gospel background, and my family going to Church, and me singing in Church, really burned a fire inside of me to do music that is circular enough so the whole world can heal from it, or the whole world can hear it. To be honest, RnB and pop is the most circular music that will spread around all of the world, and I feel like with the voice I have, I would like everyone to hear me singing, I would like people to experience what others have experienced through my voice.

Lloyiso Tells Apple Music about the Energy of His Debut EP

Embed –

Big energy. There’s exciting songs, it’s songs that you can bump on your way out to the club – not inside, but maybe just 30 minutes before you go into the club. There’s songs that you listen to when you are alone in your bed, thinking about everything and you’re just trying to soak in everything and you want to cry to something. There’s music for when you’re with your person, you know? Spending that time, driving or down the beach, on a flight… It’s just a whole rollercoaster of feelings that people must be ready to feel, and just know that it’s all going to be intentional and genuine. It comes from a place that I felt and something that people feel all the time.

Time alone is always an opportunity to explore my emotions”, she says. It seems RYLTY can make any moment feel like an epic poem of pain, love or anything in-between.

Nigerian-American multi-talented singer, songwriter, actress and producer Lisa Yaro shares her amapiano-influenced club anthem “Savage” – listen here. The song, produced by RexMADEIT, is an energetic party-starter that serves as the lead single from her upcoming EP, My Way, set to be released on June 16th. Along with the EP, a colorful music video directed by LENSGOD will debut showcasing people dancing and partying in the streets of Lagos, Nigeria.

Yaro describes, “‘Savage’ is an energetic club record that gets you hyped and gives you the freedom to let loose and just have a good time! I really wanted to make a summer record that embodied FUN. So many times we get wrapped up in the day to day grind that we forget to simply dance. I hope my record can be that escape for anyone looking to blow off some steam through dancing. Good music and good vibrations are what I want to add to the world and I believe that my EP is a reflection of that.”

My Way will be Yaro’s first project, following her success as a songwriter with will.i.am, LeToya Luckett and Mya with whom she contributed to the Grammy-nominated project “Smoove Jones” in the Best R&B Album category. The EP will follow a series of successful single releases that include “Biko,” “Domitilla,” featuring Mayorkun, and “Yaro,” featuring Afrobeats superstar Zlatan. Her music video for “Yaro” gained rotation on BET Jams, Revolt TV and BET Soul. The song’s combination of Afrobeats and R&B led music blog The Knockturnal to say that “Lisa has created a sound for herself within the Afrobeats genre that incorporates both sides of her culture.”

Lisa is an artist, songwriter, producer and actress born and raised in Kaduna, Nigeria. Her deep appreciation for her African musical heritage landed her in Los Angeles where she began songwriting for artists such as Mya, Will.i.am and LeToya Luckett. Her hard work paid off when her songs were recognized on the Grammy-nominated project “Smoove Jones” by Mya, in the Best R&B Album category.

She has recently gained success as an independent Afrobeats artist with multiple commercial releases, such as “Biko” and “Yaro” featuring Afrobeats superstar Zlatan, which have received rotation on BET Jams, Revolt TV, BET Soul, and Apple Music. She has also performed in sold-out venues across the US with Afrobeats artists Flavour, opened up for Asake, and performed at the 2022 AFRIMMA Awards Show in Dallas, TX. Lisa’s unique sound has been featured on numerous radio shows in the US and abroad, including Hot97 in New York, SoundCity, and Cool fm in Lagos, Nigeria.

Since 2021, she has hosted on the weekly AfroFlava radio show and co-hosted the Afrobeats stage at SummerStage NYC. Alongside her musical endeavors, Lisa has executive produced for various shows and films, including “Freedoms Path,” which premiered in over 200 AMC and Regal Theaters in 2023. As an actress, she has appeared in numerous TV and film productions, including “Asking For IT,” a movie that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and is currently available on Hulu and Amazon Prime. One of Lisa’s previous singles, “Domitilla,” featuring Mayorkun, is also featured during the end credits of the film.
