Owen Rivera has released a new single titled LaiLuv through Curb Records. This track marks a shift in direction for the nineteen-year-old artist, moving away from the holiday music that saw him reach the top five on the Christmas charts earlier this year. The song is a straightforward pop record with a tropical melody, aimed at a summer audience and intended for listening during coastal drives.
The song was written by Michael Lloyd and Greg O’Connor. It begins with a light, breezy melody that sets a specific mood. Given Rivera’s background as a studio drummer, the rhythm section is a central part of the track, providing a consistent energy underneath his clean vocal delivery. The structure is built around a commercial pop framework that makes the chorus easy to remember.
Rivera has been working in the entertainment industry for most of his life. He was discovered at age four and has already performed alongside established musicians like Mavis Staples and Jason Mraz. In addition to his music career, he maintains a steady schedule as a voice actor. With this release, Rivera incorporates elements of his Puerto Rican heritage into his sound. It serves as a transition point for his career as he prepares to release more bilingual music in the future. The track reflects a practical approach to pop songwriting and demonstrates how Rivera is managing his transition from a child performer to a recording artist.
