NAVII signals new EP with R&B-pop delight ‘EASY ON ME’

Stockholm’s own NAVII is turning heads with his ‘EASY ON ME’, a tantalizing preview of his forthcoming EP majorminor, set to drop this winter. Teaming up with renowned songwriter Etta Zelmani (BTS, Don Diablo, Galantis), NAVII crafts a spellbinding track that merges R&B melodies with punchy pop drums, setting the stage for an EP that’s sure to make waves. Instrumental expertise from Per Berglin (guitar) and David Lecander (bass) elevates the track, showcasing the collaborative spirit that defines its sound. NAVII’s ability to mimic the instruments in his head and translate them into polished, professional tracks is a testament to his talent.

‘EASY ON ME’ kicks off with an old-school speech sample, immediately pulling you into NAVII’s vibrant world. His smooth, soulful vocals float over a bouncing bassline and sharp drum line, while light synths weave through the mix, creating a sound that’s both fresh and nostalgic. The song explores the delicate dance of falling in love, with NAVII and Etta’s vocals intertwining to express the need for a gentle touch in the process. With catchy melodies, silky vocals, and engaging rhythms, NAVII is set to take the music world by storm with this exciting new release.

“One day in the studio, whilst working on other songs, I played this beat idea for Etta. She got super excited and started bouncing ideas back and forth for what the song could be about. A taste of something delicate, sensitive, serious, and playful. Within an hour we had created the structure of the song.”

“Usually, I’ll mimic how I hear the instruments playing in my head, and these guys turn around and do the exact same thing but a thousand times better. ‘EASY ON ME’ was one of the last additions to the ‘majorminor’ EP, but it was the song that made the most sense releasing at the start of this journey.”
