MAVI Begins Rollout For New Album “Shadow Box” With Sobering “Drunk Prayer”

MAVI is going to send you to outer space with his new single “drunk prayer”. This is the Charlotte, North Carolina native’s first solo release of 2024, and the lead single for his third album. According to Stereogum, there is good chance that this record deals with a lot of heavy topics. The talented multi-hyphenate revealed that he was disappointed in how his sophomore record, Laughing so Hard, it Hurts, played out. So much so, that MAVI sent himself in a spiral.

“I didn’t really know how to get back into making stuff into the way I like. I felt really hopeless about it… getting really drunk, dealt with love and heartbreak, having to be there for my family”, MAVI said. Overall, it sounds like it was a really difficult time for him. However, it seems that he is back to making art that he enjoys. Furthermore, this most likely means we are going to get the very best out of him when Shadow Box drops on August 9. As for this new single, MAVI is delivering a dark tale about said alcohol, death, and other grim imagery. Additionally, the production is absolutely transcendent. Credit here goes to Angelo Leroi for putting together so many compelling layers.
