Carousel is the first self-produced single to be released from R&B loverboy Latir’s upcoming Anthems For Lovers EP.

His catalogue of romance begins with this nostalgic and ephemeral song, which captures glimpses of a past connection, or as Latir gratifyingly sings.

Breaking down the meaning of Carousel, Latir explains:

“For those feeling helplessly in love, for those who have felt this feeling, and for those who are yet to fall… I hope this song aids your eventual, transcendental moments, as though you are on a Carousel, to nowhere and everywhere all at the same time.”

His style can be considered avant-garde as he experiments with sound in his own unique way influenced by his love for hip-hop, old school jazz, indie and electronic music, heard through his timeless yet uplifting melodies, and his generously thought out story-telling.

The London based singer produces a hypnotic instrumental lulling you into an almost dreamlike state, the whole vibe creating a delicate, intricately woven track to represent the fragility of falling in love. The memories linger on, elevated by the reverberated piano, sweeping violins, peaceful percussion and Latir’s poetic words.

Olivia Nelson’s verse is complimenting the track perfectly smoothly transitioning her voice from each end of the scale.

Latir’s debut offering, the six-track Until Forever EP was released in May of 2020 and so far he has received love from BBC 1 Radio, BBC 1Xtra, CLASH, SBTV, COLORS, Lyrical Lemonade and more, receiving almost 2 million streams and counting, all done independently.
