Chicago’s Anthony Pavel might be the next big pop export from this city. If his new EP “Windows” has anything to say about it, this rising young singer/producer will be filling up your radios with blissful Justin Timberlake-flavored jams. The EP is exclusively streaming in full below with RedEye.
Pavel, who astute fans may recognize for producing Saba’s 2014 song “Comfort Food” and singing on A$AP Rocky’s “Back Home,” impresses by himself here. He links up with Saba again on the opening highlight “HerStory” and even throws in some silky beatboxing on single “Runaway.” My personal favorite is the horn-laden closer “Suddenly,” which definitely has summery Pharrell vibes. If you dig earworm pop, you’ll dig this.
In a statement, Pavel reveals to RedEye that, “It’s so exciting to finally be releasing my first project out into the world. I called it ‘Windows’ because this is the first time I’m really letting people have a look into my life, my perceptions and some of my personal experiences. Each song is a collection of feelings and inspirations that are derived from years of learning what I love in music. From melodies of pop and R&B, to feels of jazz and soul, I’m confident that there’s a little something for everybody in this project. I hope people enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed making it!”
