The Florida native debuts his sophomore studio LP.
Pray 4 Love serves as the follow-up to Rod Wave’s 2019 Ghetto Gospel release, featuring the Lil Durk-assisted remix to his breakout single ‘Heart on Ice’. In an unprecedented time where new discoveries prompt change, love is infallible and universally embraced.
Rod Wave’s fitting recognition in the music industry is a byproduct of his astonishing vocal range and calming persona. The deft crooner pens a troubled past full of distress and uncertainty over fourteen layered tracks. His gruff overtone about trauma, fervent caterwauls of betrayal and gripping melodies detail what defining moments have contributed to Wave’s unique existence.
‘Pray 4 Love‘, the self-titled leading single, and ‘The Greatest’ have both surfaced with videos to complement their respective release in advance of the project’s debut. The pair of offerings are loaded with Wave’s keen remembrance of the past, rewriting the narrative on what it means to be vulnerable or emotionally intact.
The 20-year-old artist is somewhat of a newcomer in terms of mainstream catalog, but the context surrounding his rhyme scheme and pragmatic approach to life screams sagacity, like an old soul.
In an era of music where dual threats outlive one-trick pony’s, the St. Petersburg songster is well-versed in riding his own wave, transcending a new sound in music through R&P (rhythm and pain).
