Lava La Rue 'Hi-Fidelity (Ft. Biig Piig)'

When we last heard from the west London rapper, singer & artist Lava La Rue, they were loved-up and content. Lava has brought in funkier riffs for their follow-up 'Hi-Fidelity' that scream of summer.

Lava La Rue's second EP ‘Butter-Fly’, traced infatuation, the yearnings of long-distance relationships, self-love and vulnerability, all set to gorgeously groggy psych-rap.

Nearly 18 months on Lava (real name Ava Laurel) is still at ease, with the ‘Hi-Fidelity’ EP consisting of five mellow and potent new songs.

Lava La Rue says of the new single, which features NiNE8's Biig Piig, "The name 'High Fidelity' is a play on words between a musical transition from Lo-Fi (low fidelity) to songs to be played Hi-Fi and also infidelity."

Lava has brought in funkier riffs for this follow-up that scream of summer, nodding to the West Coast vibes imbibed while making the record in LA.

Love still hangs thick in the air – be it an old flame resurfacing (‘Don’t Come Back’) or a partner so perfect that you feel compelled to write a song about them (‘Hi-Fidelity’) – as Lava prepares to enter a new creative chapter.

“I want to drop one last project that acts as the bridge between the Lava that debuted, the one everyone knows, and the person I’m becoming,” they recently clarified about the purpose of this EP.

So it makes sense that ‘Hi-Fidelity’ bears many of the hallmarks of its 2021 predecessor.

This is the curtain call for the Lava La Rue we’ve come to know, growing from the impressionist sketches of their 2017 mixtape ‘Lavaland Part 1’ to the broad-brimmed, dancehall-influenced ‘STITCHES’ of 2019.

Like ‘Butter-Fly’, ‘Hi-Fidelity’ is the giddy sound of where Lava is now: happy, in love and even more sure of themself.

‘Hi-Fidelity’, which features the Irish artist Biig Piig, is a standout: strutting bass and hissing ‘90s synths power a hopelessly romantic love song that’s begging to be blasted out of a car stereo.

Heard Lava La Rue first on Magpie and then landed here. I love how the sample was brought back to life, taking us back to an error, serving a definite vibe. This song will be on my playlist for a long time.
