AUSTRALIAN SINGLES

LAUV: LET IT GO

REPORT

23-year-old Ari Leff is behind some of the most tightly crafted pop songs of the year – here's how he went from overthinking it to overnight sensation.

To most listeners, it might seem Lauv has come from nowhere. An independent artist without a full-scale major label or

social media campaign behind him, he’s suddenly all over your radio with the lilting, earnest hit ‘I Like Me Better’; he’s guesting on the latest DJ Snake single ‘A Different Way’, following in the footsteps of Justin Bieber and Zayn Malik; and he’s supporting Ed Sheeran on the Asian leg of the superstar’s world tour, starting later this month.

But like any overnight success, there was plenty of hard slog before Ari Leff hit the big time. “I can definitely tell you there is years and years of me making bad songs and trying to figure it out,” he laughs.

Now 23, he began writing songs when he was 13, after learning the piano as a child and later switching to strings. “I played viola for a couple years. My two older sisters played violin and cello. Then, you know, I picked up a guitar ... That was when it really clicked for me. As a way to to express myself – [it] sort of just snowballed into an obsession. Then I started to learn how to produce, cos I was, like, playing in bands and I had to record the bands and stuff. Then I was like, ‘Wow, this is really cool that I can, like, sit in my room and make an entire song just myself.”

At 18, he decided to step away from performing, thinking that production, songwriting and engineering was “the more realistic route”. He left his native San Francisco (he’s now based in LA) to study music technology at NYU, building connections and working on his writing.

LAUVWhile he always gravitated towards writing love songs (“I feel like I should like, I don't know, talk to a therapist about that!”), he’d never actually had a real-life romance to draw on, and he found himself writing songs to appeal to certain commercial tastes rather than to express himself. But then ‘The Other’ spilled out of him in a 2014 writing session, shortly after a breakup, and everything clicked.

“I was writing all these songs that I thought people wanted to hear. That I thought another artist would want to sing. I sat down with one of my closest friends who is a great songwriter [Michael Matosic], and we just sat in my room in New York in my basement windowless apartment room. I was like, ‘You know what, I have these feelings about what's been happening, it was a weird time for me – can we just try writing a song about it?’ We did, and it was so different.”

“I had no idea that I was going to write that song that day. I didn't have that concept written down, that title, any of the lyrics, anything. I just sat at my keyboard and the song just sort of started to fall out.”

Leff found himself too attached to the song to give it away, and he released it online under the name Lauv (Latvian for lion, nodding to his mother’s heritage and his star sign, and pronounced like “loud”). Prodded by a tweeted endorsement from Liam Payne, the track blew up, sneaking into the Spotify Global 100 and hitting #3 on Hype Machine.

The experience cements the songwriting philosophy he drew from an old interview with Paul Simon: don’t force it.

The Hit Network spun ‘I Like Me Better’ more

than any other single this week.

‘I Like Me Better’ is certified ARIA

Platinum in Australia.

Lauv’s feature effort on DJ Snake’s ‘A Different Way’ has propelled the track to #8 on the TMN

Dance chart.

‘I Like Me Better’ is peaking at #7 on the

TMN Hot 100.

“I randomly found this book on my friend’s shelf that had all these interviews from songwriters. I flipped to [Simon’s] interview, and I think what really clicked [was] him talking about how he was never interested in going into a room saying, ‘I want to write a song about this today.’ Or, ‘This is what I'm feeling.’ … [I]t was always about, like, going in and just trying to see what subconsciously he maybe wasn't confronting, or he didn't want to admit to himself, or he wasn't aware that he was feeling.”

The success of ‘The Other’ led to other songwriting opportunities; Leff’s co-written of some of 2017’s best and purest pop songs, including Cheat Codes and Demi Lovato’s smash ‘No Promises’ and Charli XCX’s ‘Boys’.

But he’s come into his own with the ‘I Like Me Better’, which is wildly radio-friendly while also showcasing how inventive he can be – its distinctive instrumental motif, which sounds a bit like the viola he played as a kid, is actually Leff’s voice, processed almost beyond recognition.

“I remember I voice demoed that melody, just humming it, into my iPhone. Just like that, where my voice cracks and everything. All the little beautiful flaws. Then I just emailed it to myself, and I was like you know I'll pull it into the recording session, and later I'll change it to another sound. Then I ended up being like, ‘Wait, what if I just mess with it a million times?’ I just processed it again, and again, and again, and again to get all these crazy effects.”

Australian listeners have embraced ‘I Like Me Better’ more enthusiastically than almost any other market; the track has peaked at #8 so far on the ARIA charts and

is steadily climbing the TMN Hot 100. So it’s no surprise Leff hints at soon-to-be-announced Australian tour dates. He jokingly says he hopes he’ll be playing arenas – although he’ll likely get enough of that on the Sheeran tour – but at this stage the biggest crowd he’s played to is 4000 at a festival in Milwaukee this year, and he’s still loving intimate shows and direct contact with his passionate and fast-growing community of fans.

“I think it just kind of grounds me that people are reacting to what I'm doing – that they're actually connecting with it," he says.

"I have people who show up with tattoos of my lyrics and stuff like that. My parents are scientists and my mom works in vaccine research, and she's trying to cure HIV/AIDS, you know? "I'm over here making music, and I'm like, some days I feel guilty, and then I'm like, OK, well, at least I could touch somebody's life and my songs can mean something – hopefully mean something positive for them.”

AUSTRALIAN SINGLES REPORT

As ‘What About Us’ enjoys its sixth consecutive week at #1 on the TMN Hot 100, It’s become very clear that radio just can’t ignore a new P!NK single. ‘Beautiful Trauma’ is shooting right up, now at #11. If the track breaks through to the Top 10, it will mark the sixth time P!NK has owned multiple singles in the bracket at the same time, dating back to 2007’s ‘U & UR Hand’ and ‘Who Knew’.

It’s week #9 for our cover star Lauv on the chart. ‘I Like Me Better’ is peaking at #7 this week and is getting increased support from commercial Hit stations and KIIS. Since debuting at #55 on the Hot 100, the track is yet to see a red arrow and is powering on spectacularly towards the Top 5.

Elsewhere, Sam Smith has reaffirmed his position at #2 this week, a new peak for ‘Too Good At Goodbyes’. It's now his most successful single to date on the Hot 100, surpassing 'Stay With Me' which made it as far as #3 in 2014.

Peking Duk is the all-out favourite for commercial radio adoption this week. New track ‘Let You Down’ featuring Swedish duo Icona Pop is unmissable with its electrifying rhythm, razor-like synths and surprisingly emotional lyrical core.

The boys have had two Top 10 tracks on the Hot 100 with 2015’s ‘Take Me Over’ ft. Safia and ‘Stranger’ ft. Elliphant. ‘Let You Down’ follows on from ‘Fake Magic’ ft. AlunaGeorge which is now certified Platinum in Australia with over 15 million streams.

‘Stargazing’ by Kygo ft. Justin Jesso gets an official service to radio this week, as does a new release by The Vamps, who team up with Maggie Lindemann on 'Personal'. Esoterik, one-third of Aussie hip hop group Bliss N Eso, also launches brand new single 'Be Like You' ft. James Crooks.

It doesn't get more convincing than this. Charlie Puth completely overwhelmed radio last week, taking the Most Added crown with his latest single ‘How Long’. The track gained additions across nearly all major stations. Not only was Puth added to the entire Hit Regional Network, ‘How Long’ was the only track picked up on full rotation by Ash London LIVE.

Adds continued to trickle in for Ed Sheeran’s ‘Perfect’, DMA’S ‘Dawning’ and Vera Blue’s ‘Regular Touch’. The biggest surprise last week came from independent artist Baker Boy whose second single ‘Marryuna’ ft. Yirrmal got the attention of triple j and FBi Radio, securing #3 on the chart.

AUSTRALIAN & INTERNATIONAL DIGITAL CHARTS

Esoterik and James Crooks have teamed up to present ‘Be Like You’, a collaborative effort between the two friends, whose similar taste in both music and humour has delivered a song that is honest, raw and undeniably catchy.

As one-third of hip-hop powerhouse Bliss N Eso, Esoterik (aka Eso) has become one of the most recognisable voices and loved personalities in contemporary Australian music. After he kicked a decade-long heavy drinking habit while on tour overseas, Esoterik is the birth of a clear vision, an animal-like drive. The energy which he once burned elsewhere is now funnelled into a positive outlet for a man with a lot to say.

New Single Spotlight

Post Malone's 'rockstar' has returned to the top of the predictive charts this week. The collab with 21 Savage is #1 on both the Shazam Future Hits chart and the Shazam Movers chart, and is #6 on the Spotify Viral chart.

triple j favourite Tash Sultana has returned this week with 'Mystik'. The song is #7 on the Shazam Future hits chart, #4 on the triple j Hit List and #2 on the Hot 100 Alternative chart.

J Balvin & Willy William’s 'Mi Gente' is having another burst of popularity on the charts following the release of the Beyoncé remix. It's sitting at #3 on Spotify Viral and #4 on Shazam Movers.

AUSTRALIAN & ALTERNATIVE ARTISTS

Jessica Mauboy is holding strong on the Australian Hot 100 at #1 with 'Fallin'', and has now also assumed the #2 spot with her most recent track 'Then I Met You'.

Aussie artist E^ST is making her way up the charts this week with her new single 'Life Goes On'. The track is #5 on the triple j Hit List and #4 on the triple j Spins chart, #6 on the Hot 100 Alternative, #4 on the Spotify Viral chart and is also #9 on Shazam Future Hits chart, capping off a comprehensive sweep of the Australian and alt charts.

Following his week-long absence from the AIR Singles chart, Vance Joy has re-entered the chart with four of his tracks - 'Lay It On Me' at #1, 'Fire And The Flood' at #2, 'Riptide' at #3, and 'Mess Is Mine' at #7.

OVERVIEW

Fresh from scoring their first UK #1 album & Australian tour, The Vamps are broadening their horizons stylistically with their brand-new single 'Personal'.

Teaming up with American rising star Maggie Lindemann (known for her smash single ‘Pretty Girl’), the British four-piece have made a cool, cutting-edge pop track with additional production from superstar DJ producer Digital Farm Animals.

Speaking of partnering with Maggie, The Vamps added: “We always enjoy working with new people. When we heard Maggie’s tune 'Pretty Girl' we knew she was going to be awesome. She’s such a talented person whose voice added so much to the single.”
