Recording artist and actor Lovari revisits
the sounds of the early ‘90s R&B/pop
realm with his new album “The Rhythm of
Life,” to be released May 12. The album
contains 13 brand-new songs and includes
a remake of Mariah Carey’s “Around You”
from her “Emotions” album).
The distinctiveness of Lovari’s vocals lies
within the various tones that he delivers,
often sounding like (and at times being
mistaken for) a female due to his pitch, as
evident on “Need to Know.” The New
York born and raised artist has released
“Crush On You” as the first single, and it
is currently at #2 on the SpinReports.com
Nielsen/BDS R&B Hip-Hop Chart.
“There’s a lot of firsts for me on
this album,” Lovari says. “I have
whole structures of underlying vocal
harmonizations layered that I created in
almost every song. On my other albums,
I pretty much did straightforward vocals
with only matching backgrounds. I have
a country song on this album. I have a
gospel track. I have an ‘80s arena rock
song on here as well, which includes live
production by Dave Duke Sims of Shinobi
Ninja. He amazed me in the studio by
playing guitar, bass and keyboard on the
track in just one short session.”
