‘EASY ON ME‘ is a delightful foray into the world of R&B, pop, and soul, marked by catchy melodies and smooth vocals that dance over engaging rhythms. The Stockholm-based artist NAVII, formerly known as Martin Masarov, showcases his versatility and musical craftsmanship, bringing a fresh sound to the scene.
Imagine a world where every beat feels like a heartbeat, and every melody is a whisper of emotion. That’s what NAVII delivers in ‘EASY ON ME’, a collaboration with renowned songwriter Etta Zelmani. Her sensational vocals weave seamlessly with NAVII’s vibrant voice, creating a captivating dialogue that explores the themes of fear and falling in love. The song bursts to life with an old-school speech sample, quickly followed by a bouncing bassline and sharp drum line, as light synths swim in and out of the sonic landscape.
Reflecting on the creation process, NAVII shares, “One day in the studio, whilst working on other songs, I played this beat idea for Etta. She got super excited and started bouncing ideas back and forth. Within an hour, we had created the structure of the song.”
This spontaneity and collaborative energy are palpable throughout the track, making it a standout addition to the EP. The record also features the instrumental expertise of Per Berglin (guitar) and David Lecander (bass), who bring NAVII’s musical visions to life with their skillful contributions.
Again, the music visionary explains, “Usually, I’ll mimic how I hear the instruments playing in my head, and these guys turn around and do the exact same thing but a thousand times better.”
You can’t help but get excited for NAVII’s upcoming EP, majorminor, set to be released later this year. With this ‘EASY ON ME’ however, this artist is stepping into the spotlight, showcasing a sound that is both fresh and timeless. His music, characterized by its catchy melodies and silky smooth vocals, promises to be a breath of fresh air in the music world. Keep an ear out for NAVII – he’s just getting started, and the journey ahead is bound to be spectacular.
