La’Monte – She’s Around

La’Monte, an R&B and rap artist from Philadelphia, has announced the release of his debut EP album, “She’s Around,” available for download on all major streaming platforms. The album features four original songs produced by La’Monte, drawing influences from an eclectic mix of jazz, calming piano melodies, orchestral forms, and acoustic rhythms.

La’Monte is a trained musician and self-taught singer and songwriter. As a teenager, he learned to play the piano from a master musician in just a year’s time. When he decided to expand his musical abilities with vocals, he settled on rap music. Over time, he was drawn more to pop and vintage R&B, which led him to teach himself to sing using the piano. His knowledge of scales and notes enabled him to easily transition into the artist he is today.

La’Monte has been creating music for five years and is also an animator who has garnered great support throughout his social media channels. He specializes in creating traditional 2D content for other artists as well as producing comedic shorts. He is currently working on a fully-animated music video that he plans to release in the future.

In both his music and other creative ventures, La’Monte has found a place where his artistic expressions are not only seen and heard but also felt. He revealed that the EP was inspired by his love for music and a girl who was a potential love interest. He believes that music can become an outlet and vice and is a language in and of itself. By creating this album, he believed his music could help her understand what he feels.

The album’s intro track, “All I Ever Need is Her,” has a subtle moderate tempo and instrument decay with a jazz delivery that is both mellow and alluring. The second track, “Tonight,” features low-fidelity piano notes that contrast and compliment the third track, “She’s Around.” The album title song brings in the sounds of a banjo inspired by the karate films of the 1970s. The EP concludes with “Take it Slow,” an outro track that brings the listener back to the jazz influences with which the album starts.
