Singer-songwriter Lavaud has recently unveiled her newest single, “3 AM in London,” a blend of lovesick lyrics with a catchy set of Afro-pop rhythms. Lavaud’s work tends to draw deeply from personal experience, interweaving the universal themes of love and connection with her London roots and musical heritage. The result is music that captivates, breaks molds, and pushes limits—all in the pursuit of love and self-expression.
How “3 AM in London” Came to Be
The inspiration behind “3 AM in London” came to her when she was away from her partner in the United States while writing and recording. The distance made Lavaud miss her partner more than ever, and though it was tough to be away, she says she got through it by reminiscing about their wild 3 AM nights together, “when the world was asleep and it was just them.” She crafted this latest melody with the memory of their time apart, what it was like to long for the one she loved.
“I think a lot of people can relate to that feeling of being with someone you love or are getting to know,” Lavaud says, “having the best time. Those moments inspired this song.”
The Team Behind the Music
“3 AM in London” was produced by a high-caliber team, including Trakmatik, Hvstle & Sean1da. Together, they helped Lavaud achieve a vision that incorporated Afro-pop beats, catchy hooks, and heartfelt lyrics to create genuine music. The song brings all the emotions Lavaud felt when she was a continent away from her partner and shares them with the world, knowing just how many others have felt the same. It is resonant and hopeful that those 3 AM nights will return when the divide is bridged.
Distinguished by Storytelling
It is this kind of universal storytelling that sets Lavaud apart, both serving to resonate with a wide audience while focusing on deeply personal feelings and events. Her story is hers alone, but told in such a way that anyone listening can see themselves in it, longing for the same sort of nostalgic return as she did while away from London in the United States.
In this, her music is consistent, from her debut EP “King Vaud” to her most recent single, “Roll on Me,” featuring African stars Tiwa Savage, Reekado Banks, and Patoranking, as well as Haitian superstar Kanis. Lavaud continues to grow her career, joining musical stylings with her unique lyricism to establish herself in the music scene.
Ever Dreaming of an Inspired Future
For all of her success, Lavaud is always dreaming big. In a few years, she hopes to still be impacting the world through music, fashion, and beauty, building her brand internationally. Alongside her brand, she aims to break molds and push limits, expressing herself and advocating for what she believes in. “I have dreams of winning awards for my creative achievements,” she says, “being a face in music, fashion and beauty.”
