Alt-Pop rising star MAUVEY shares “WE HAD THE TIME OF OUR LIVES TOGETHER” – his stunning collaboration with electro-pop powerhouse, Lights. “WE HAD THE TIME OF OUR LIVES TOGETHER” is taken from MAUVEY’s forthcoming EP BEFORE THE ALBUM II: a brief overview which is set for release late 2023 via 604 Records.
Speaking on how the collaboration with Lights came to be through a press release, MAUVEY explains, “’Like many others, I have been a fan of Lights for years. I watched her perform three times in the Summer of 2022. It took a while, but I finally plucked up the courage to say hello. A couple weeks later, I wrote a song that I thought Lights would be perfect for. To my absolute shock, she loved it. A couple weeks after that, right before Lights’ European tour, she sent me her stunning verse and the rest is history. I mean I’m still freaking out to have a song release with Lights, I expect I always will be.”
“When I first heard of MAUVEY I was initially impressed by his cohesive artistry and vision,” Lights shares. “When he sent me a few unreleased songs I immediately fell in love with “WE HAD THE TIME OF OUR LIVES TOGETHER” and asked him if I could throw a verse on it. The track is really soundscapey and emotive, but with up front raw lyrics – the way I like music.”
“The song is reminding you that even if you were ‘the worst’ together, you had the time of your lives together, furthers MAUVEY. “It’s about silver linings, it’s about reminiscing on the best of times.”
