For You

Troy Javelona

Emerging from Plymouth in the South West of the UK, Troy Javelona has dropped his fresh EP titled ‘For You’. The vibrant atmosphere of ‘For You’ delves into the love with raw, honest lyrics and Troy’s signature alternative R&B sound. His characteristic indie 'lover-boy' style is radiant throughout, with mesmerisingly catchy melodies, dynamic guitar riffs, and rich harmonies creating a fantastically energetic soundscape. Remarkably, Troy produces all his music from his bedroom, adding an authentic, personal touch to his sound.

The standout title track, ‘For You,’ is poised to be a summer hit. It features a driving drum line and vibrant bass as the foundations of the song. Troy’s outstanding vocal line sails over, with thick harmonies and ad-libs swimming in the atmosphere behind him. There’s a light, refreshing air to the track as Troy announces to his love, “I did it for you!” Guitar lines sing along with his hook, cementing the melody in your mind. This song is so catchy it’ll be bouncing around your head after even the first listen. Not just this track either, but Troy Javelona seems to have a knack for writing the catchiest of melodies. The opening track ‘Call Me’ is infectious, and starts the EP off with the sunniest of guitar atmospheres. The light feeling is an unwavering factor of Troy Javelona’s artistry and makes his music irresistible. You can’t help but continue to press play. 

This incredible release follows the acclaimed two-track EP ‘Call Me’ and the viral sensation ‘Go Away,’ which took TikTok by storm, racking up over two million views and more than four million Spotify streams. Since then, Troy has been steadily building his reputation in the UK alt-R&B scene with a series of EPs and singles. 'For You' is set to further elevate his career as he captivates the global indie scene and cements his place as a rising star in the world of alt-R&B.
