MAVI announced his third album, Shadow Box, due out on August 9. It’s the follow-up to 2022’s great Laughing So Hard It Hurts, and about it, he writes, “I was really sad about the last album. I didn’t really know how to get back into making stuff into the way I like. I felt really hopeless about it, started getting really drunk, dealt with love and heartbreak, having to be there for my family. I had to come back and really learn how to make art all over again. My path back was centered around visual art, fashion, interior design, and design as an artistic framework and as an organizational force in society. A lot of the backbone of the album came from my time with this design book, The Black Experience in Design. The idea I gained from that is design is power. The ability to determine the order of things, the way things are supposed to be…that’s power. The orderliness in the lives of the devoutly religious became an attractive subtext during the creation of this album.”

don't get the hate for laughing so hard.
wonderful album
the giver and too much to zelle the ones
Mavi def wrote all this as therapy for himself
Fav tracks:
20000 leagues
Open Waters
I Did
The Giver
Inspiring me to write again, one of the only few to do it
he came in the scene one of the best in the game but ever since that Jack Harlow tour I haven't felt that same energy from him that I felt till '21 ngl
was pretty let down by the last album, like it grew on me a bit but the sound just was nowhere near as interesting as everything before.
need to peep to see if he's recovering a bit, that first single was a bit more solid at least, I'm scared to get bored by the prod again tho
Top Tracks:
my own way
im so tired
drunk prayer
the sky is quiet
open waters
the giver
this is really good, i appreciate his discography a lot so far.
all his albums have their own identity and you can tell each album represents a moment in his life. it's beautiful and all i can say is i hope he good mentally
It's alright, I like it a lot more than the last one, but I still don't see myself playing it back a bunch. Favourites are 'i'm so tired' and 'the giver' though. '20,000 leagues' and 'my own way' are cool too.
Ultimately it's all quite repetitive and not adventurous enough now. Maybe I'm just tired of rap.
