Love Keyyz Tells “Love” Story on New Album
Last month, Love Keyyz released “Life Worth Living.” Building off of the success of the single, Love Keyyz now unleashes her sophomore album, “I Could Be Dreaming.” “I Could Be Dreaming” is a storytelling album that is meant to be listened to from beginning to end, in order to get the full picture. The arrangement and crafting of the album demonstrate why Love Keyyz is an artist to watch in 2022 and beyond.
Love Keyyz makes use of her lovely harmonies and vast vocal range to illustrate a beautiful love story that ends up being more of a tragedy. “I Could Be Dreaming” is a musical memoir based on Love Keyyz’s recent relationship. The contrast between the records makes “I Could Be Dreaming” feel like a double album. “It’s sort of a Side A/Side B project. Heaven and hell, so to speak,” Love Keyyz states. “I Could Be Dreaming” begins with songs about what real love feels like – that true, strong, seemingly unbreakable love. But, then [the album] descends into the pain that derived from the relationship, and later ends with her healing process and growth. Love Keyyz states: “Love comes with a risk. We don’t always get our fairytale, and that’s okay. But, love is so amazing. Love is why life is worth living.”
“I Could Be Dreaming” was written entirely by Love Keyyz, which allowed her to be transparent, and keep the album authentic and heartfelt. Not only did she write the album, but she had a hand in the production of the album as well. She based her writing ideas around chord progressions that she composed on the piano. Love Keyyz enlisted her favorite and über-talented pianists Antoine Franklin and Jordan Jackson to add musical elements to the jams. Wasay Waqar produced two tracks, and mixed/mastered the entire album.
“I Could Be Dreaming” is an album void of skips, each song is masterful. The album has something for everyone. “I Could Be Dreaming” delivers upbeat 90s nostalgia, Pop vibes, catchy hooks, and so much more. It is a diverse R&B/Soul album that is full of sounds that showcase Love Keyyz’s musicianship and versatility. “I Could Be Dreaming” will have listeners in reverie while playing the album on repeat. “I Could Be Dreaming” will no doubt make you a fan and love, Love Keyyz.

“This album is dedicated to my lil brother Boosa, who passed away when I was locked up. I put a lot of time into this album and was going through a lot while making it. I got sober and went to therapy as well. So you will hear a lot of pain and just a better version of me throughout each song. I’m introducing the world to an older, better, and evolved version of FAT TREL,” say’s the MGE recording artist in a press statement to Medium Creative Agency about the upcoming body of work.
Martrel Reeves PKA Fat Trel was a child far more ambitious and cognizant of his surroundings than the norm. At age seven, he professed ambitions to be a rapper, while peers delivered the proverbial “I have a Dream” Speech about aspirations to be nurses, doctors, lawyers, and fire fighters. As peers sat excited by the endless possibilities of the future, Fat Trel sat perplexed by the harsh realities of DC; the place he called home. Fat Trel exited high school at age 15, caught up in the lure and necessity of street life; a road more traveled when the have-nots impose an immediate call to action. Unconvinced high school education would support his family or cultivate his ambitions, Fat Trel hit the ground running in pursuit of being an emcee and has not stopped running since.
Fat Trel has nurtured and grown his organic storytelling ability with creative word play and pulverizing flow. Taking a raw approach to music, some would say as graphic and grimy as the streets of DC, but equally memorable and captivating nonetheless. He holds no punches and tells each story with such relativity they appear verbatim, in a matter of fact nature, that illustrates he is genuinely home grown and not caught up in the idea of being from the streets.

Lei Swan Drops Raunchy, Fun Single “Sex”
Lei Swan reveals a fun, energetic bop “Sex” which is a smooth listen and a vibrant take on the concept of sex.
The song is actually the opposite of what people think it is, according to Swan. To her, men have sex in the #1 spot of their brain. Lei wants more vacations and relaxation then you just be focused on sex all of the time.
In her own words, “in this song I share how sex is not a necessity and how much I don’t care for it. I also share how good my sex is and how guys want to experience that side of me but I don’t give them the time of day!”
It’s a preview of much more exciting and eccentric music set to come from Lei Swan.
