Some debut singles just hit differently, and Luvall’s “Satellite”, featuring Dave B., is one of those tracks. The song meets us in a deeply personal space, born from a time of emotional upheaval for Luvall—post-wedding and navigating the grief of losing his father. “Satellite” is both a reflection of those emotions and about finding the courage to break free from relationships that might be holding you back from becoming your truest self. The weight of that message hits with every beat, wrapped in a smooth yet captivating neo-soul and alternative R&B vibe.
The track itself is a gorgeous junction of these genres. Neo-soul elements intertwine effortlessly with alternative R&B, making a song that flows naturally and smoothly. Despite the relatively mellow background, the rhythm has a groove that makes your body want to move. It feels like the kind of track you can put on at any moment—whether you’re deep in thought or just looking to vibe.
What stands out even more is how Dave B.’s rap elevates the entire rhythm, providing a contrast that adds texture to the song. The rap doesn’t overshadow the core message but instead helps to construct the flow and build a dynamic progression. There’s a refreshing feel to it, modern yet timeless in its smoothness, with Luvall’s falsetto soaring just at the right moments to keep you hooked.
