In the leading single from her upcoming EP “Intellectual Frequencies” (coined by Chicago’s Emon Fowler), Jovan Landry does not pull any punches on “New Beginning". Produced and penned by Landry, New Beginning speaks on who she is at this point in her life. Through the lyrics, she shares her newfound confidence and determination to stay true to herself, overriding the naysayers that attempt to distract her along her journey. It's a reminder to take stock of how far we’ve come and how to pave the way for where we’re going next. Landry's voice is captivating from the start, and her passion, wit, and charisma shine through in the pocket of the beat. Listening to this song is like being taken on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. It's a perfect summer anthem for anyone who's ready to start a new chapter in their life and take control of their future.
lyrics
Yo, Yo, Yo, Yo
Feel my presence, my energy, that was sent to me instantly
If you swindle me, then I know you ain’t kin to me
I got that database, lavish, don’t gotta paper chase
Got a story that resonate, you can go check that resume
And let it marinate…
It’s a reminder of my integrity, and where I’ve been
And umm, yeah. Ya time’s up
You know that I gust, I just secured all my trusts
It shines so bright, beware, it blinds ya
I can smell ya intentions from a mile away
From the… fee to the fi, to the, fo to the fum
And I may be all compassionate, stop acting like you abstinent
And take it all for granted, cuz you know I ain’t dumb
You got me sick up off all that ignorance, I’m on my last straw (ugh)
You better get that act right, before I throw that pick n roll
Myself, the one I’m in control
Can’t manage all these feeble souls
I want a life nonfictional, whimsical, mystical!
Cause my feet can’t fail me now, it's a new beginning
I cannot be my let down, it’s a new beginning
I can't say, I’ll show you how, it’s a new beginning
Uh, It’s a new beginning, ah, it’s a-it's a-it's a
My feet can’t fail me now it's a new beginning
I cannot be my let down, it’s the new beginning
You know from the sounds, that I’m here, here come
If you know, then I think you should run-run-run-run-run
Who is this? She acting like she brand new
That is so… ludicrous
No one could ever touch her, She is so… Limitless
But you don’t understand, cuz you just be fearing the unknown
And that is so, ridiculous
You’re projection is reflections of your own predicaments
And what you lack, you not unpacked, and that's why you’re so deficient
I had to get meticulous in the groundwork that was frivolous
And I am feeling serene And free, hitting the scene
I just, do it so clean, and you know what I mean
That you're thirsty like a fein to be on team J.o.V., huh…
Because I make it happen, like rapping, we get it clapping
Stay truthful, no need for capping, got problems? we’ll get to scrapping, right
Lyrical flows into lyrical blows
I take my time craft my rhymes to make you go into intervals
Sheesh, you’ll know my name and respect the game I play
Don’t doubt me, cause that’s a shame, or just hate me and be a lame
Cause my feet can’t fail me now, it's a new beginning
I cannot be my let down, it’s a new beginning
I can't say, I’ll show you how, it’s a new beginning
Uh, It’s a new beginning, ah, it’s a-it's a-it's a
My feet can’t fail me now it's a new beginning
I cannot be my let down, it’s the new beginning
You know from the sounds, that I’m here, here come
If you know, then I think you should run-run-run-run-run
