Highway

Bajan singer / songwriter Lagoon Wavey releases new single and video, Highway. Following his recent COLORS debut, Highway captures Lagoon’s textured vocals and extensive sonic range. The 21-year-old’s vulnerable lyrics and sensual production from, Mohammed Hannif, Leejo and Haleek Maul remain core elements within his artistic persona as he continues to evolve and hone his sound. Reflecting a romantic colour palette, the Eleanor Hann video captures scenes of Lagoon and his love interest effortlessly portraying the song's message with their silhouettes telling an intimate story.

Born and raised in Barbados, Lagoon Wavey has continuously found himself drawing inspiration from the island’s wealthy cultural and musical background, collaborating with fellow natives in the process. Citing Rihanna and The Weeknd as key influences to his sound, he incorporates old singing techniques into his present day sound. Describing his current style as a mixture of Neo-Soul, Alt R&B, Afro and Soul, he is focused on progressing his artistry further and sees no boundaries in his way. Constantly generating ideas on the go, Lagoon allows his sonic to fluctuate depending on his instinctive feelings, prioritising music as a means to express himself. Common themes in his music run through love, relationships, and his upbringing in Barbados. 

Speaking on the track, Lagoon said:

“This is me finally being more comfortable in my music and trying a new way to do it, I’ve always felt quite reserved when it came to RnB so I’m done trying to play it safe.”

His recent single Occupied garnered support for BBC 1Xtra DJ Jamz Supernova before his COLORS performance cemented his name on a wider scale. Lagoon’s sights are now firmly set on global takeover, proudly flying the flag for Barbados in the process. With lots of new singles, projects and collaborations in the pipeline, the next few months will be exciting for Lagoon with a move to the UK also on the horizon.
