LLOYD P-WHITE
RELEASES
ROCKSTAR EP
Indie rap-punk newcomer Lloyd P-White releases his debut EP Rockstar - a six track concept EP exploring the highs and lows of a real Rockstar life.
In equal measures heartfelt and energetic, Lloyd’s honest and to-the-point lyrics are born from everyday situations set alongside music created in his bedroom. Throughout the EP Lloyd creates a strong visual of the darker side of love and romance, woven between nostalgic indie-guitar riffs on “Bad & Beautiful”; the rising talent sings “Take my life, don’t care now, it’s only you”. In contrast, “Black Heart” delivers trap-infused production and a futuristic feel whilst keeping the sentiment constant: “We were bad for each other, I was blind with both eyes covered”.
Also including previous singles “Rockstar Life”, “Lonesome” and “925” – amassing over 150k combined streams – Lloyd’s personal trials and tribulations span the six tracks, which are sung into catchy choruses across production described by Lloyd as “being created for live shows.”
Delving into the wealth of genres in the EP, Lloyd explains: “I’ve been told it’s hard to put my music in a box, which is exactly the same for me as a person. Growing up in Basel, Switzerland (border city to Germany and France) and later living in London, I’ve grown up and always been in a multicultural environment. My environment is a melting pot of cultures and so is my music.”
Accumulating an impressive 4.5M+ Spotify streams in 2020 alone, Lloyd’s loyal fan base is ever-growing and an instrumental part of his journey. With top editorial playlists such as the coveted New Music Friday, as well as support from the likes of Clash Magazine and Huffington Post under his belt, the Rockstar EP feels like the start of something incredible for one of 2021’s most exciting new faces.
