Hip-Hop Star Pavy Makes Impressive Return With Latest Album The Bachelor
Rapper and lyricist Pavy, hailing from Chicago’s South Side and based in LA, has just unveiled his brand-new album. Aptly titled The Bachelor, this nine-track project is an emotional journey that lays bare the artist’s soul while reflecting on love, life and personal growth.
Pavy’s musical journey began at the tender age of 14 when he first picked up a pen and delved into the art of crafting rhymes. From that moment on, his passion for music took flight, and he poured his heart and soul into perfecting his craft as an MC. With unwavering dedication and overwhelming love for music, Pavy has evolved into a true artist whose talent knows no bounds.
The Bachelor features a stunning array of tracks, each resonating with the raw emotion and honesty that defines Pavy’s artistic vision. The album’s focus track, “Love It for Yourself”, sets the tone for the entire project, delivering a chilled-out vibe perfect for cruising around the city on a sunny day or embarking on a late-night journey home.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the project, Pavy shares, “The Bachelor was a project I wrote from August 2021 to about September 2022. A lot of personal changes in my life happened in that period, from deaths in the family, to moving out on my own, to the world opening back up post-Covid. The music that was created reflects all that but also being a single adult man dating in LA. That’s why you have songs named after restaurants or restaurants name-dropped throughout the album. I bared my soul and tried to be as honest as possible about the situations I was going through or the moments I was sharing with whoever I was sharing them with. I hope you enjoy it.”
The Bachelor is a multifaceted work of art that captivates with its poetic lyricism and soulful delivery. With each track, Pavy paints a vivid picture of his experiences and emotions, providing listeners with an authentic and relatable perspective on the rollercoaster of life and love. The Bachelor is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://li.sten.to/thebachelor.

FRGN-SPCMN’s RIDE AROUND THE SUN: A Masterpiece of Sound, Reflection, and Emotional Depth
North Carolina-based producer duo FRGN-SPCMN, composed of Ronnie Belle and André Jones, have crafted an album that feels as much like a personal diary as it does a universal meditation. RIDE AROUND THE SUN is a vivid exploration of life’s complexities, set against a backdrop of experimental beats, rich instrumentation, and hauntingly introspective lyrics. Known for their collaborations with Coast Contra and TDE’s Lance Skiiiwalker, as well as their contributions to Issa Rae’s Insecure soundtrack, FRGN-SPCMN have taken their own artistry to new heights with this release.
At its core, RIDE AROUND THE SUN is a reflection on the dualities that define our existence—pain and pleasure, chaos and calm, struggle and growth. The title track, featuring Mez and Ace Henderson, serves as the album’s emotional anchor. Mez’s poignant storytelling tackles systemic struggles and personal resilience, while Henderson’s smooth, reflective chorus encapsulates the perpetual search for peace and meaning. The lyric, “Round and round the sun again, I feel like I should go,” feels like a mantra for anyone grappling with the cyclical nature of life’s challenges.
The production throughout the album is strikingly cinematic. Inspired by a transformative trip to Joshua Tree, Belle and Jones weave together sounds that evoke the vastness of the desert. Tracks like “TO THE SKY” and “LOVE IN VEIN” combine earthy guitar riffs, subtle electronic flourishes, and layered percussion, creating a soundscape that feels both grounded and surreal. The duo’s ability to create space within their music allows listeners to lose themselves in its expansiveness while connecting deeply to the themes it explores.
What sets this album apart is its pacing and cohesion. FRGN-SPCMN have mastered the art of creating a narrative arc within their music. From the contemplative opener (“DAWN”) to the meditative closer (“CABANA BLUE”), each track feels intentional and interconnected. The tempos remain largely laid-back, but there’s an underlying tension—a pull that mirrors the unpredictability of life. It’s the kind of album that rewards repeated listens, with new details revealing themselves each time.
Beyond the sonics, RIDE AROUND THE SUN is a call for empathy and understanding. The duo’s message is clear: while our individual journeys may differ, we are all passengers on this shared ride around the sun. It’s an album that doesn’t just entertain but challenges the listener to reflect on their place in the world.
In a time when music often feels disposable, FRGN-SPCMN have delivered a project that demands attention and reflection. RIDE AROUND THE SUN is a masterpiece of sound and substance—a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the human experience. For those seeking depth, emotion, and artistry, this album is not to be missed.
