Chicago-based indie rapper Dave Luv is a savant of freshness—refusing to put himself into a box, he expertly infuses his inventiveness and character into every track. Since taking a leap of faith to pursue music, ultimately turning his back on earning a political science degree, Dave Luv has consistently impressed, never delivering the same track twice. Pulling from influences across the musical sphere, Dave’s prowess defies categorization—offering listeners elements of rap, pop, and rock, promising even more surprises. Despite his ever-evolving sound, Dave’s innovative, tight bars are routinely gravity-defying and soul-stirring, connecting with audiences on social media and in person gracing stages across the country as an opener on recent tours. Truly hitting his stride this year, Dave Luv has no intention of slowing down anytime soon, with many new singles and new projects in the works with accomplished producer Onassis Morris. With the release of “Walk Through,” Dave Luv flaunts a new style——solidifying his place as a rising young superstar, delivering an electrifying blend of sultry R&B and smooth hip-hop elevated by the velvety vocals of Sagealina.
Backed with a ballad-like piano melody and easygoing beat, “Walk Through” soothes the mind, allowing listeners to lose themselves to the sultry entanglements of young love. Working from arrangements by manager Onassis—Dave draws from his personal experiences in his own long-term relationship—inspired by the sound of Ariana Grande and Mac Miller’s smash hit “The Way.” Dave’s lyricism and flow are refreshingly simple as if confessing attraction was the easiest thing in the world. Addressing his lover, Dave puts it all on the table; “I’m not like the other guys that you talk to,” he asserts, “always number one, never put you in the top two.” Dave Luv and pop queen Sagealina are a match made in musical heaven—playfully trading hooks and verses with intoxicating chemistry. But this song is especially delectable because of its youthful spirit—this pair never utters the words “I love you,” but rather confesses that they have been “feeling each other for a while now.” In a contemporary culture of love that takes many forms—often foregoing labels for all kinds of “situationships”—this duo’s vulnerability creates an authenticity sure to resonate deeply with listeners, reminding them of those intimate moments when love transcends words, existing purely in the energy shared between two people.
The saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” applies perfectly to Dave’s inclination to collaborate with master hip-hop visual maker Nicholas Jandora. Collaborating for the third time this year on a music video, Dave and Jandora take viewers on a visually stunning journey yet again—this time in an atmospheric, empty theater. Dave takes a seat for the show as dazzling Sagealina drifts into the spotlight—the white glow catching the bling of her diamonds. Dripped out in a luxurious black ball gown complete with satin opera gloves, Sage is beyond alluring—and Dave is not afraid to tell her so. Flirtatiously trading melodies, their undeniable chemistry draws audiences into their vibrant world of young love, delivering mesmerizing visuals brimming with cinematic charm. It’s yet another showcase of Dave Luv’s creative brilliance—and far from the last—as fans can look forward to rediscovering him over and over again as he continues to evolve. He consistently delivers tracks and visuals even fresher than his previous work—an impressive feat for a young musician on the rise with much more artistry to come.
