SV and Alyssa Jane link up for “Pressed,” straight out of their album “Neo Phily,” which dropped three months ago. Alyssa‘s holding it down in Phoenix, while SV, originally from Boston, is putting in work from St. Louis. This track hits different, blending soulful hip-hop vibes with deep, reflective lyrics about the grind and stress of modern life.
SV‘s beat is a whole vibe, throwing down lo-fi drums, warm Fender Rhodes chords, and a bassline that rolls like it’s being plucked on a classic guitar. It’s got that jazzy, boom-bap feel, laced with a touch of 70s jazz-funk. The production feels raw and DIY, like it was cooked up on an old-school Roland SP808, giving it that unique, hand-triggered rhythm that knocks you sideways.
Alyssa’s vocals are something else, gliding over the beat with cool confidence and her lyrics hit on stress, anxiety, and the steady chase for balance, with Alyssa bouncing between venting her frustrations and wrestling with the weight of expectations. Her delivery feels liberating; cutting through the fog and bringing a clear vibe that slices right through all that stress.
“Pressed” nails that underground trip-hop vibe while keeping it breezy with a touch of nu-soul. This track, a laid-back banger perfect for a ridin’ n’ vibin’ type playlist, showcases SV and Alyssa Jane‘s dope collaboration, making it clear they’ve got a chemistry that keeps you hitting replay.
