Breaking into the music scene two years ago, Lauv's 2016 single 'The Other' surprisingly amassed over 88 million Spotify streams by early 2017. On the track, Lauv's unguarded honesty instils a slow-burning fusion of R&B and indie-pop which was taken to another level with his surprise global smash 'I Like Me Better'. His playlist 'I Met You When I Was 18' features a host of tracks including 'The Other', 'I Like Me Better' and the new song 'Easy Love' and will become the musical birthplace for new material over the coming months as Lauv invites fans into his world.
Music lovers, don't miss this remarkable star-in-the-making on his debut New Zealand visit.
