LOS ANGELES — R&B singer and songwriter JAWAN.mp3 returns with his second full-length project, a swimmingly sweet 14-track effort titled Reverie. Reverie features the viral TikTok singles “Still (For You)” and “Only Want U,” and collaborations with Elijah Dai, Mal Saunders and BeMyFiasco. Reverie is available today for purchase and streaming on all digital service providers. Listen to Reverie here.
Reverie expands on the sonic landscape introduced in his 2021 EP, The Abstract, delivering a captivating blend of abstract and modern R&B. Featuring eight new tracks alongside the original five from the EP, Reverie is a complete artistic statement.
“This is six years in the making and I’m glad I took my time,” said JAWAN.mp3. “As urgent as music feels sometimes, I believed it was more important to be proud of the work and sure that it matched what I needed to express. Like my friend Ankn once said, ‘The industry is no match for the Universe. Resonance is a timeless and underrated emotion.’ I believe that with everything in me.”
JAWAN.mp3’s previous project, The Abstract, debuted in the top 10 of the iTunes R&B Chart and has garnered more than two million streams. JAWAN.mp3’s music has garnered more than 2M streams across DSPs and he has been featured on MTV, BET, Vibe Magazine, Okayplayer, Uproxx, Rated R&B and The Root.
Reverie was made available for fans exclusively on Bandcamp on January 1 with ten bonus tracks and alternate cover art.
Reverie is produced by JAWAN.mp3’s longtime collaborator Tonye Ayeba.
