Fresh music this Friday tackles themes of belonging and elements of loss for the Texas singer-songwriter.
You may have heard him through the smooth and throwback-like track, Westside, and today Nevi returns with an upbeat new single The Boy Who Left. Far removed from his previous releases, it sonically exudes an acoustic and country inspired sound that opens a greater spread for an audience to connect with.
What The Boy Who Left Sounds Like
It tackles themes of growth and self-discovery following his flying from the roost of his home in Texas to a place far removed from his stomping grounds. It’s bittersweet, but ultimately one of a positive and uplifting outcome. Nevi tackles these themes through a series of videos on his TikTok which you can watch to unpick his motivations for the song.
Featuring 2010s style music, he lets loose a hard braised vision complemented by an old camera-esque execution (as is the current trend) via a visualiser to enhance his incredible delivery. However, at times, the visuals feel more trend-driven than complementary to the track itself, so I recommend listening to this via your chosen streaming platform to fully appreciate its depth.
Verdict
It’s a positive song and the artist utilises cross-genre appeal to good measure. His talent is able to magnify the narrative of dreams and situations to circumstance, one that augments his ability in song without sacrificing his musical identity.
Overall, he manages to demonstrate the interchangibility of multigenre prospects while keeping in tune with one’s own ideals. It’s a sweet song, one that will satisfy anyone searching for new music this Friday.
Where to Stream It
You can stream it via Apple, Spotify, Amazon and YouTube Music. To stay up to date with the artist you can follow him on TikTok and Instagram.
