Chicago’s own Pavy, born Jonathan McCoy, has finely honed his skills as a lyricist, and “New Years 22” exemplifies his commitment to his art. Taken from his EP Home For The Holidays, the record feels personal, like a journal entry enveloped in cool production.
Pavy’s South Side roots resonate through his storytelling. Since he began writing at 14, he has established a reputation as a thoughtful lyricist, and that maturity is evident here. The beat is laid-back, almost nostalgic, allowing his lyrics to breathe. There’s no urgency, just reflection.
“New Years 22” serves as a timestamp, capturing growth, lessons learned, and quiet realizations. Instead of relying on flashy hooks, Pavy embraces authenticity. His delivery is steady and conversational, creating an atmosphere where listeners feel as though they are sitting across from him as he revisits a pivotal moment. The strength of the track lies in its simplicity. It doesn’t seek to overwhelm; rather, it welcomes you in. In this understated confidence, Pavy reminds us that sometimes the most impactful records are the ones that communicate softly.
