As the temperature rises and millions trade their winter coats for shorts and flip-flops, emerging artist Lil’ $o$o takes listeners to the beach for her latest audio and visual release. Lil’ $o$o “Passion” trades in the bass-thumping production of her previous single, “No Hands,” and delivers an R&B-leaning that showcases her versatility as an artist.
“It’s been a while. I’ve been soul searching,” she sings as the Suave Films-led visual positions her alongside a scenic beach sunset.
“I’ve been trying to find my sole purpose. Why does the future make me so nervous? Sometimes, life feels like a circus.”
Not only does the track put the emerging artist in a new position sonically, but she also lyrically diverts from the bold, braggadocious style that permeates from “Outside Widdit” and “Enhancements.” Lil’ $o$o’s latest release allows fans to hear from her in a setting that allows her to be vulnerable and honest.
“I love this record because it really shows another side of me. Sometimes, I feel like people are so materialistic or surface level, and I really am starting to see that ‘real’ is rare. I hope to find something deeper than that and that’s what made me put that into my music,” she said about her newest single.
“Passion” is valued addition to the Miami native’s growing catalog, bringing depth and complexity to her story as an artist. In a day and age where fans are buying into the people they’re listening to as much as the actual music, Lil’ $o$o peels back the curtain and says, “This is who I am when the stage lights are turned off and the camera isn’t rolling.” For those looking to buy into her story before she takes off, “Passion” is a perfect place to start.
