Altana-based musician, Lelo, cools R&B down with his combination of sweet rhythms and Afro-beat vibes. His hits follow a formula of mixing things that have been combined before but in new ways. In 2021, Lelo dropped his first single, “Patience.” His second single, “Fron Me 2 U,” came a year later. Check out these singles and more on YouTube and Apple Music. Lelo’s latest single, “Summer Vibes,” feels like an easy breeze to the ear.
“Summer Vibes” gives the sultry, tropical energy we need as the summer heats up. It is meant to be listened to if you’re seeking the beachy sounds we all love. You can picture yourself floating down a river all too easily while the beats play behind you. The message is just as gentle, yet it’s searching for something. Lelo is searching for the perfect girl to match his carefree, no-string-attached season. This track flows with a chill hip-hop/R&B beat and Afro-beat drums, giving it a “tiki” sort of feel. The smooth vocals are the cherry on top of this perfect song. So, give Lelo’s new single a try to learn what the best “Summer Vibes” sound like.
