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”, which dropped today.
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.

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.

From what began as a beat created on Instagram Live, to premiering during her performance at the street festival "Argyle Night Market, to transforming it into a full-length song that was released today on all streaming platforms. The smooth deep house/hip-hop is a vibe that is reminiscent of rain, water dance an outpour of love for life.
“As I began to release singles on a monthly basis, I knew I wanted The Outpour to be a part of that arsenal. I went back to the drawing board to find its structure and story, finding lyrics that would surprise the listener at the end, and even implementing automation to give it that DJ / club vibe that the song naturally gives.” — Jovan Landry

Jovan’s Intensely Personal “Growth”
“I’m growing as a person. I’m growing as an MC,” Chicago rapper, photographer, and filmmaker Jovan Landry, who raps under the mononym Jovan, says outside of a Wicker Park bar where she’s just wrapped a lively set.

BY ZACH GASE VIA BANDCAMP— “I’m growing as a person. I’m growing as an MC,” Chicago rapper, photographer, and filmmaker Jovan Landry, who raps under the mononym Jovan, says outside of a Wicker Park bar where she’s just wrapped a lively set. She released her fourth album, Growth, at the end of October, and she’s speaking about the title’s relevance. “[This project has] different lyrical content, dealing with things that I usually don’t talk about—for example, my sexual identity, like queerness and falling in love and breaking up. I don’t really talk about that kind of stuff, but I think it’s important to talk about, especially in this era, to talk about what you stand for—what you believe in, what you feel.”
