Los Angeles alt-pop artist Riz La Vie reveals new album 'Haven,' releases "FYP" single
Los Angeles alt-pop artist Riz La Vie is ready to drop to their highly anticipated debut album.
Announced today, Haven will be released on February 9. The 15-track album features collaborations with Vic Wainstein (Tyler the Creator, Mac Miller), Daniel Hartzog (Tom the Mailman, ericdoa), Lucy Blomkamp (6LACK, Mallrat) and Johan Lenox (BROCKHAMPTON, Metro Boomin, Shawn Mendes).
La Vie said this about the forthcoming album:
"The album reflects my journey facing the struggles of trying to find a home in a city like New York, during a recession and eventually having to move to another city like Los Angeles. It showcases the ups and downs of forming new connections, and the impact of losing some friends temporarily and some permanently, both for the better and for the worse.
The album also expresses my determination to not fall victim to fear-mongering, and trying to find light and positivity in difficult times."
A new song from the album titled “FYP” is available on digital services right now. The New Jersey native said this about the new track:
"[FYP] is a representation of my love affair with New York City, even while living in Los Angeles. It reflects my feelings of longing, FOMO, and passion as I see my beloved city moving on without me, such as through concerts and billboards, while LA tries to capture my attention. It's a story of my longing for my true home and my deep emotional connection to it."
Pre-orders for Haven can be found here.
La Vie will be promoting the album on tour with support from Johan Lenox and Ayleen Valentine. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
