Mavi speaks a version of english that's charged energetically

[@noelbravo9384]

Mavi is an amazing artist

[@mkabove]

Laughing so hard it hurts got me through a lot. Beautiful album

[@wrenk.6569]

"the worst parts of me are necessary"

[@beansbars]

[@damson9470]

[@vapenashe4480]

Laughing So Hard it Hurts is a masterpiece, album cover and all. That was the album that introduced me to MAVI and changed my life!

[@prodbyelevan7847]

Only 15min in but i just turned 25 n this shit is rough man and its a lonely time period, fallin in love with yourself and your path is cool in theory but in practice its difficult man. but ill say music by far has always been a remedy for me and im sure for yall as well, so if you’re readin this i wish yall peace n love ✌️

[@noelbravo9384]

i’m about to be 23 and i feel you 100% bro. had a breakup summer 2023 and lowkey been trying to refind myself ever since.

[@prodbyelevan7847]

@ find a solid routine man, and its hard but accept shit for what it is, u can choose how u feel and see things everyday thats the mindset i been havin

[@damson9470]

don't change things about yourself mavi, accept things about yourself.

[@jamonniewest8757]

DID HE JUST TEASE ME WITH SHANGO?? he playing bro he know i’ll give everting for it

[@zanderroe1708]

I’ve been working heavily on a creative project this week and out of the 7 days of podcasts and interviews I’ve listened to this was by far the deepest and my personal favorite. Thank you for your perspectives

[@johnlennon3107]

Laughing So Hard is one of my favorite albums of all time, cover and all

[@Sgw0p]

[@notsurewhat2put]

Fav song on there rn?

[@KN93_]

always good energy man love mavi so much :)

[@nickyz473]

the interviewer never was quite on that wavelength (no hate on interviewer, just shows mavi’s intellect. interview was still an immaculate medium for interview purposes). unceremonious praise to mavi for being able to articulate his thoughts as clear as he did here (I know a mf on mushrooms when i see it)

[@scrpihoo]

such a good watch🙏🏾, loved the conversation about growth and the uncertainty that comes with it
