Laureli is a new face in Seattle’s music scene that’s coming out swinging with lush hip-hop-influenced R&B. Since last year, she’s put out a handful of singles that have found calculable success. “Mercedes” recently came out masterfully produced. Lavish vocals establish themselves after the first drop. Laureli’s thick voice encapsulates a moody atmosphere interestingly dribbled throughout her verse. The mixing on the track has a professional balance. Laureli displays a level of finesse and focus uncommon for someone this young in the game.
“Mercedes” is a must-listen for feelings of empowerment and self-care. Celebrating confidence and independence, the lyrical content Laureli packs build a strong portrait of a rising star. Her energy is full, but moving towards a finished direction. “Mercedes” is proof she has only more to give to Pop/R&B in the future.
