Aotearoa songstress LOVETA has today released her uplifting dance-pop single ‘Drive’ - a hit for the dancefloor and a must for your summer road trip playlist.
Yet another successful collaboration with musician/producer Wulfie, ‘Drive’ has a slightly contrasting style in comparison to her debut nu-disco single ‘More Than Fun’.
“The song’s about coming out of a period of feeling stuck and chasing what makes you feel happy, alive, and connected,” says LOVETA. “I wrote ‘Drive’ in lockdown last year when I was feeling restricted and confined at home, as well as in my own headspace. Being isolated from friends and loved ones was tough, and I found myself searching for a new perspective on the situation. I was inspired by the feeling of getting away and travelling somewhere new, where all of life’s worries just melt away.”
There’s also a stunning visualiser made by Applebox’s Kirsty Cameron. Based around a gorgeous vintage car, it has dreamy effects, bright colours, and a carefree, well-styled, summer LOVETA enjoying the sunshine.
“We captured it in dreamy slow motion, as a contrast to the energetic beat and bassline of the song, to create the idea of slowing down and enjoying the moment. Everything just flows and is bright and easy, just like the vibe of the song!”
LOVETA says ‘Drive’ is the perfect transition track into other styles we can come to expect from her exciting debut EP, which is being created with the support of NZ On Air New Music Development Funding.
Her music is all about embracing the journey of life in a way that’s fun - so be sure to follow the journey AND the fun through her socials!
