Australian artist Maver, renowned for his captivating blend of alternative pop and indie-dance, is set to release his new EP, 'Spirals,' in October. In anticipation, he's unveiled the second single, 'Lazy,' featuring the talented Sydney artist jnr. This track serves as a refreshing reminder to embrace the beauty of doing nothing and prioritize self-care amidst the pressures of a fast-paced world.
Maver's music has drawn comparisons to BAYNK, Biig Piig, and Whethan, and 'Lazy' is no exception. The song unfolds with a laid-back groove, punctuated by crisp percussion and swirling synths. Maver's smooth vocals intertwine seamlessly with jnr.'s, creating an intoxicating atmosphere of tranquillity and contentment. The production feels spacious, allowing each element to breathe and contribute to the overall sense of ease. It's a sonic embodiment of the song's message: to slow down, relax, and simply be present.
Inspired by the burnout that often accompanies relentless work and the constant pressure to be productive, Maver and jnr. crafted 'Lazy' as an ode to the art of relaxation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of disconnecting from the world's demands and finding solace in the company of loved ones. Maver explains, "We wanted 'Lazy' to feel carefree and laid-back, just like the sentiment of the song. It dwells in the comfort of doing nothing, being with the people you love, and blocking out the world."
The collaboration between Maver and jnr. blossomed organically after they met on a Covid online writing camp. Their shared experiences of burnout and the challenges of maintaining a healthy work-life balance fuelled the creation of 'Lazy.' jnr. reflects, "I think I had definitely felt burnt out from constant work and having to sometimes force creativity, and I feel sometimes as artists, having a day off is a dirty word."
'Lazy' offers a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It encourages listeners to shed the guilt associated with taking a break and embrace the restorative power of doing nothing. With its infectious melodies, laid-back vibes, and heartfelt lyrics, 'Lazy' is a testament to the importance of self-care and the beauty of simply enjoying the moment.
