Illuminate Your Listening with my new EP Shadow & Light
Hey music lovers!
Get ready to add sparkle to your playlists with my new 5-song EP, Shadow & Light! The spiel: LaVon’s musical journey has been a long and winding jazzy road, and many of the songs on Shadow & Light have been echoing in her mind for years. This project was produced by Tim Kennedy and was done in collaboration with Jack Straw. This collection of tracks is a kaleidoscope of emotions and experiences that’ll have you dancing one moment and pondering deep thoughts the next. This is a follow-up to the previous EP, Brown Girls Dream.
Let’s dive into some highlights:
“It’s Not About You”: This snarky, funky track takes a satirical jab at the political chaos of the early 2020s. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the world's noise, this song is your anthem!
“Message in the Moon”: Written after the passing of a friend’s father, this soothing song offers a comforting reminder of love and loss, resonating with anyone navigating grief.
“Pegasus”: Inspired by a childhood book, this whimsical autobiographical piece reflects on LaVon’s place in stories often dominated by blond, white kids, asking, “Is there room for me?”
“Center of My Gravity”: An immensely catchy pop tune inspired by Helen K. Thomas’ short story “Maybe This Time.” Get ready to hum this one long after it’s over!
“Shaking My Head”: I wrap up the EP with gritty blues. A powerful declaration of “enough is enough.” It’s a call to action and a reminder to stand firm in your beliefs.
You can purchase the EP on Bandcamp or your favorite online music store.

Goodbye, and thank you…To one of my superfans, Jackie Glover, who passed away in September. Jackie has followed my musical career for many years. It gave me much joy to see her face in the audience or talk to her about the song. Thank you Jackie for your ears and your big heart.
May your October be bootiful! And do remember to be fabulous!
