LVRN Gets In The Christmas Spirit With Shelley And Young Rog’s Jazzy ‘Feliz Navidad’ Video
LVRN beat the holiday rush with their Christmas EP and add an extra present for fans with their new video. …
Earlier this year, the Virginia singer/rapper formerly known as Big Baby DRAM quietly changed his name on streaming services to his government-issued first name Shelley, although he generously tagged himself “FKA DRAM” so fans could still find his catalog. However, he hadn’t released any new music under his rebranded moniker until his label, Love Renaissance (or LVRN), issued its first-ever holiday album, Home For The Holidays, last month. Today, the label shared the first video from the project, which features Shelley and newcomer Young Rog covering José Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad.”
Featuring a quick intro by LVRN’s resident DJ Kitty Cash, the video documents the two crooners recording their rendition in a thoroughly decorated studio complete with Christmas trees, stockings, and fairy lights. Shelley — who’s recently taken to filming cooking content for his Instagram throughout the pandemic — looks like he’s been baking some cookies for Santa and his labelmates, wearing a printed apron and holding a blunt as he embellishes Rog’s mellow take on the holiday standard. Fittingly, the production still features a subtropical flair, with bossa nova percussion and a soft, Spanish guitar backing the singers’ smooth vocals.
Other standards that appear on Home For The Holidays include “Santa Baby,” sung by Summer Walker, “This Christmas,” by Eli Derby, and Shelley’s second take on “The Christmas Song” after he dueted the song with his mom on his own holiday EP in 2017. Meanwhile, 6lack and Summer Walker take a turn on James Brown’s “Santa Claus, Go Straight To The Ghetto” with “Ghetto Christmas,” while rappers Westside Boogie and OMB Bloodbath put a ratchet twist on a classic with their irreverent “12 Days Of Bhristmas.”

Michael Coleman captures heartbreak’s quiet echo on latest release “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow”
The Metropolitan Cowboy Michael Coleman returns with a deeply affecting new single, “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow,” a song that explores the emotional landscape left behind when love fades and certainty disappears. Written by Coleman, the track offers a reflection on heartbreak, loneliness, and the difficult process of rediscovering oneself after loss.
One of the song’s most compelling strengths lies in its honesty. Lyrics such as, “Right now she’s not anybody’s girl / Though she used to be someone’s wife,” reveal the profound identity shifts that often accompany heartbreak. Rather than offering easy answers, the track embraces uncertainty, making its emotional impact all the more powerful.
The chorus and bridge further deepen the song’s resonance, highlighting the struggle of moving forward while carrying the scars of past experiences. The line, “When you don’t know what comes next / You can’t protect your heart from battle scars,” serves as a striking reminder of the openness that comes with healing and personal growth.
Musically, “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow” balances classic country sensibilities with polished contemporary production. The arrangement feels spacious and expressive, creating room for the song’s emotional themes to breathe while maintaining a strong sense of accessibility. The result is a track that feels equally at home during a solitary late-night listen or on mainstream radio.
