Lo Boii – ‘Maybe’
About Lo Boii
With instrumentally brilliant production from Aalias —co-producer of the Grammy-winning Eminem and Rihanna single “The Monster” —and shining falsetto runs from Corey Latif —a two-time Grammy-nominated songwriter who’s written for Usher, Musiq Soulchild, Faith Evans, and more— Lo Boii is a project made with soul from the ground up.
Lo Boii’s previously released singles “Floor Seats” and “Sweeter,” which blend faithful nods to the pair’s influences with a distinct, surprising new flavor. Tracks like “Chakra” shine a light on the pair’s blend of old-school funk licks and soulful vocal runs with a wholly original take on modern electronica. Layered sheets of sound combine with an underlying steadiness to form a masterfully crafted mosaic, and gems like their electrofunk cover of “She Drives Me Crazy” by Fine Young Cannibals put Latif’s falsetto chops on full display.
