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.

Marz Starlife Makes A Striking First Impression With Healing

Every once in a while, a debut comes along that doesn’t just introduce an artist – it reveals a soul. Marz Starlife’s first EP, Healing, is exactly that. It’s raw, it’s heartfelt, and it doesn’t pretend to have everything figured out. Instead, it leans into the messiness of real life – the mistakes, the heartbreak, the isolation – and tries to make sense of it all through music. Born in Jamaica, raised in the UK, and now back on the island, Marz brings a cross-cultural perspective to his storytelling, but at the heart of Healing is something deeply human: the need to reckon with the past in order to move forward.
Across the project’s standout tracks, Marz doesn’t hold back. In Bad Memories, he opens up about years lost to incarceration, fractured relationships, and the weight of regret. “Spent four birthdays locked up, baby remember me please,” he raps, in a tone that’s both matter-of-fact and aching. The production stays subdued and moody, letting the lyrics breathe. There’s no glorification of the streets here, only reflection. He admits to being young and caught up in the chase for fast money, but he also shows growth, making it clear that he’s not the same person he once was. It’s a track that lingers, not because it tries to be flashy, but because it feels real.
The title track, Healing, is where everything clicks. Marz taps into something almost spiritual as he raps, “I turn pain into power, darkness to light.” The song is layered with poetic lines and subtle emotional shifts, balancing toughness with tenderness. There’s a determination to rise above, even when the scars still sting. He reflects on his upbringing, his time in the streets, and the inner battles he continues to fight. “No shrink can understand how I’m feeling,” he says, and honestly, it’s hard not to believe him. The pain here is too specific, too lived-in. But instead of letting it swallow him, he uses it to fuel something greater.
What’s refreshing about Healing is that it doesn’t try to fit neatly into any one genre or narrative. Marz blends elements of UK hip-hop, Jamaican rhythm, and emotional rap into something that feels uniquely his own. He’s not here to be the loudest or the flashiest; he’s here to be honest. And in a world full of over-produced, over-polished music, that honesty stands out.
With Healing, Marz Starlife has given us more than a debut; he’s given us a mirror into his journey, and maybe even our own. Whether you’ve lived through similar struggles or are just someone who appreciates music with depth and heart, this EP is worth your time. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t linear, but it’s possible, and that sometimes telling your story is the most powerful thing you can do.
