Enticing us with rippling, cosmic keys and warm textured frequencies with a pulsing bass, vocal sample details and a drum riff, we are already immersed in Laurentis and Maijah‘s collaboration track, KNOW MY NAME (DELUXE).

Laurentis opens the song with self-realized lyricism, “It’s Laurentis, I’m a fucking snack, I live inside the daiso, farming stocks makin’ racks with my eyes closed, born so pretty you can’t match me you just buy clothes, call me Laurentis but don’t call, come by the house love…”

The rising artist from San Jose, California delivers an intricate and unique flow with down pitched details to amplify the experience. He traverses rapping and singing, and describes the track “a confident ego boost with a dance rhythm and cinematic ambiance.”

Maijah‘s contribution to the track is with melodic and sensual vocals as she sings confidently, “Every eye is on me when I walk in, loud ‘cause I’m the reason that they’re talking, like ‘My oh my, just look at Maijah poppin’”, asserting her prowess.

Laurentis‘s vibe fused with Maijah‘s pop frequency feels cohesive and natural, and uniquely exquisite in their tonality and delivery. Speaking on their intention for the track, the pair want to “transport the listener into a fun, club-like environment where the only rules are to be the baddest version of yourself.”

The two sing in unison, “If you don’t know my name call me your Highness, what can I say, being the best is in my blood (it’s in my blood), in a fire I’m the flame that burns the highest“.

Designed to boost our egos, the artists encourage the listener to “walk into the room knowing they were born to be the best”, reminding us to keep “climbing up, up, up”.

Fans of The Weeknd, Lana Del Rey, Kanye West and Jorja Smith will definitely be able to connect with KNOW MY NAME (DELUXE). We have added KNOW MY NAME (DELUXE) to our New Music Spotlight playlist, along with Signora by Laurentis which we featured recently, and have been exploring both artists’ discographies, which you can also stream below!

Setting the initial frequency with vintage piano vibes and distant vocals singing the hook, Laurentis‘ new song Signora goes on to expand into a clear and polished pop production.

The song is performed with charming and emotive vocals from the elusive artist who isn’t a fan of social media, but his depth comes through in the delivery and lyricism.

Some of our favourite lyrics from Signora include, “Tell me I’m the only one for you Signora Bella, tell me I’m the sun and stars and moon I’m all for you”, the introspective “the man who’s curious tend to fuck up love”, the intimate “I could spend my every breath just tryna keep you with me”, and the hook “Tell me I’m the only one for you”.

With an album called Liquor, Love & Lost Thoughts already under his belt, the rising artist is more than ready to move out from behind the scenes of other successful musicians he’s worked with, including Ferrini 41, HI-DEF and Maijah.

Speaking on the track, Laurentis says, “Signora is my interpretation of a serenade. Pairing Reggaeton-influenced Bad Bunny style drums, and full vocal Layers reminiscent of BROCKHAMPTON’s “Sugar” the track has a romantic sway to it as it tries to seduce you. If you’re looking for a smooth love song with a cinematic feel to it Signora checks all those boxes.”

The rising artist makes it clear that he does not want success to “flit” anymore. To Laurentis, music is pure art. It is something to be constantly achieved, and then re-achieved at a higher level. It’s about theory and thoughtfulness, experimentation and innovation–and most of all, drive.

Laurentis has a considerable connection to “Signora.” He adds, “With Signora, I wanted to try my interpretation of a classic serenade. I wanted to take some of the mixing and production techniques I’ve been learning over the past couple of years and use that to beef up a track that was inspired by my musical roots.”

“When I wrote the track I closed my laptop and turned off all the lights just sitting on my bedroom floor with my guitar like I used to back in high school. The little voice memo I recorded on my phone I sampled and that became the base for the track, playing over the intro and hook. It felt like the song wrote itself after that. I think I had all the main elements fairly quickly, though I spent several hours debating over different kicks and snares and a few of the other details.”

The multi-genre artist is certain that this is a turning point in his career and we are excited by the prospect and have already been immersing ourselves in his album, Liquor, Love & Lost Thoughts. Signora is also featured on our New Music Spotlight playlist.
