LAV.ISH – “Red Flags”
“Red Flags” is a soulful, airy pop success from Los Angeles-based quartet LAV.ISH, showing some ’90s nostalgia in their R&B and hip-hop blends. A smooth, radio-ready vocal presence enamors as backing vocal segments echo a chillwave-y feel.
The hip-hop vocal feeling engages alongside the funky guitars and mellow synths, escalating in intensity in rising to the vintage synth feelings approaching the two-minute turn. Per LAV.ISH, the standout production “expresses the feeling of acknowledgment that some people, places, and things are temporary.”
