Isaiah Falls - LVRS Paradise (Side A) (Album)
After his 2023 breakthrough “Drugs & Lullabies” hypnotized us with an ambient, dreamlike blend of R&B and vulnerability, Isaiah Falls returns to open the next chapter of his sonic love saga. “LVRS Paradise (Side A)” is his first offering of 2025 and not only reaffirms the distinct magic in his voice and vision; it broadens it, wrapping his intimate lyricism in warm hues and high-level production, all while announcing a tour that promises to bring these emotions to life across the country.
The title “LVRS Paradise” already suggests an escape, a haven carved out by and for those deep in their feelings. Side A plays like the first act of a romance that’s equal parts fantasy and familiar. The arrangements feel like they’re pulled from the haze of a golden-hour memory: lush and rich, yet emotionally complex. Isaiah doesn’t just sing about love—he relives it in every track, and his ability to make each moment feel like a visual memory is what makes this project so gripping.
One of the standout tracks is “Trick Daddy,” a slow-burning favorite in which Isaiah glides effortlessly over the beat, drawing lines between temptation and trust, past mistakes and present realizations. His vocals carry a certain edge here—raw but seductive—balancing bravado with emotional weight. It’s the kind of song that makes you smirk at the title but stay for the layers underneath.
On “Butterflies”, featuring the ethereal Joyce Wrice, the two blend harmonies like a late summer breeze—soft but stirring. It’s a song that captures the awkward thrill of the new attraction, a floating feeling that Isaiah and Joyce channel into a record that feels timeless. Their chemistry is undeniable, making it a centerpiece of the project both sonically and emotionally. Other tracks are equally potent, swaying between sensuality and solitude, often dancing on that fine line between love and loss. What Isaiah excels at is crafting songs that feel like relationships: messy, magnetic, and multidimensional.
What’s most exciting is the Side A label, a signal that this story isn’t done yet. Whether Side B arrives mid-tour or at its conclusion, Isaiah’s intent seems clear—this is an evolving journey, and we’re invited to feel every twist and turn with him. He’s not just making R&B for the moment; he’s creating for the soul, for those moments we live in our heads long after the music fades.
With “LVRS Paradise (Side A)”, Isaiah Falls cements his place as one of the genre’s most emotionally evocative voices, able to turn even the quietest thoughts into cinematic confessionals. His world is intimate yet immersive, and this latest project invites us deeper into that paradise where love is both a dream and a war zone, and Isaiah is the perfect guide through both.
