Cody says, “’Talk Slow’ is about recognizing a moment is special enough to want to slow it down. It’s the first story I wanted to share off of my, “Honestly,” EP which is truly the rawest and vulnerable look into my life; it’s like you’re reading from my diary.”
Cody Lovaas has simple and confessional lyrics in soulful vocals, melodic acoustic performances, and smooth pop production. Lovaas plays with the boundaries of pop, acoustic, and electronic music, crafting a variant that retains pop’s effortless melodies while exchanging the genre’s cosmetic compositions for sincere and wistful love stories.
Lovaas’s records have premiered on Billboard, Idolator, Culture Collide, Ones to Watch and We Found New Music just to name a few. In 2017, he released his debut single, “ Lie,” that appeared on Spotify’s Chill Vibes and Pop Chillout playlists. His most recent single, “ Prove It,” was a place on Starbuck’s Coffeehouse playlist. In total his individual streams are over 30M on Spotify .
Lovaas was fourteen and performing at an intimate open mic in his beachside hometown of Carlsbad, CA, when he caught the attention of Jason Mraz, who promptly began to mentor him and develop him as his protégé. Lovaas quickly emerged as an intuitive and prolific songwriter. Throughout his teenage years, he found his way up the coast and into studio sessions in Los Angeles. By writing hundreds of songs before the age of twenty, Lovaas cultivated an honest and impressionistic style. Today, his writing draws on a youth spent falling in and out of love in a small beach town and demonstrates the restraint and maturity of a seasoned artist.
