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.
