On Joeboy’s third album, “Viva Lavida”, it’s evident that he remains passionate about love and continues to create the most heartfelt music surrounding it.
True to Joeboy’s style, “Viva Lavida” reveals the entire range of romantic experiences, from playful tracks that illustrate the start of a relationship, with “Magdalene” showcasing physical attraction against a cheeky New Testament backdrop, to more melancholic songs that depict the gradual decline of one.
Joeboy’s latest album reinforces his reputation as the celebrated loverboy, even after parting ways with the label that initially helped him establish it. While it does have its uneven moments, a blend of introspective insights, diverse collaborations, and Joeboy’s seemingly endless reservoir of lovelorn songwriting contributes to it being another strong addition to his collection.
