Another Nightshift Verse 1. Weekdays, we're separated from each other Gets to be a drag All this weight lies heavy on my shoulders Daylight fades to black Keep on, keeping on working like a crazy nutter Tell me, can't you see Being left alone really only makes it harder I just want you here Refrain: Another nightshift Nightshift, yeah Another nightshift Without my baby But I know I'll get you back Verse 2. Somedays getting by is such a struggle Ain't too proud to beg A slow hand is what I need Don't want another I'm always running back Keep on, keeping on stressing, I don't get a lot of Get a lot of sleep With you on my mind Like a torture - hear me stutter The distance makes me weep

Let My Body 03:41
Let My Body Verse 1. If you give me what you got, then you know you got it Make me melt right on the spot, that's the way I love it When the full moon's bright we can spend the night, honey To the tick-tick-tock You can make my body rock Refrain: just try to cruise control my body Might even let you steer the wheel Inviting you to a private party Come give me something I can feel Let my body, just let my body Let my body, just let my body Let my body, just let my body Verse 2. Wanna let you hit the spot, I can't seem to fight it I enjoy to rock a lot, don't you wanna ride it? When my sun rises high and our rockets fly That's when you and me reach for ecstasy just try to cruise control my body Might even let you steer the wheel Inviting you to a private party Come give me something I can feel Let my body, just let my body Let my body, just let my body Let my body, just let my body

Goodbye Innocence Sugar, sugar... Verse 1. Love has never been A game that I can play Trust and honesty Are hard to find today Bridge: Was looking for you In anticipation Forget my words and My reservations A painful heartache on ventilation Too much is at stake That's no sensation Refrain: Just a simple kiss Turned into romance Now it's more than this so much more than this Just a simple kiss Turned into romance Innocence, Goodbye Innocence Verse 2. Though my everyday consists of sleepless nights I do confess (Do confess) I'm longing for the light Bridge I can feel a heartbeat A Stimulation But I really don't need An operation It's not that I'm stubborn In fact I'm open Hey, can you promise My heart won't be broken?

Jumping Jack 04:05
Padlock. Mmh mmhhh. oh. Yeah Verse 1: Hopping on another train It just never stops If I had another option I would give it up Teleporting would be something I‘d consider but Doc-Doc Brown is on speed-dial But not picking up Refrain: feeling like Jeykill,, Hyde & seek Busting a padlock off my feet So I'm moving on I, I, I won't be your Be your jumping jack I, I Gotta shake it Shake it off my back I, I, I won't be your Be your jumping jack This time I know where it's at Verse 2: I am restless Always guest-listed V.I.P. Zone Fjällraven packed blaming jet-leg I wish to be cloned changing places,, crowded places waiter pour it up Never seem to get the job done now the time is up Spoken Word: You wanna put me on a leash? Good luck with that I'm a Lion, and not a pussycat I slice the meat And I take the knife I lick my wounds Eat you alive

Making Music 03:36
Making Music - Bonomo LeMagass - Get It - Feel It Verse 1. Heard the music, Improvised Started singing, Harmonized Asked a female, jam with me Let's create a melody If you feel it, like I do Just throw your hands up and feel this groove Just forget your stress and strife This should make you feel alright Refrain: Making music Sweet, sweet music Oh Music Verse 2. So, if you happen to be out And you hear a sound so tight Shake it off, it's the comfort zone Let your rag and bone man move along Feel the power of a song With human voices No metronome Get united in a groove The excitement breaks the roof Refrain: Making music Sweet, sweet music Oh Music

Intro: Mmmmh Mmmh Mhhhh These Walls, These Walls, These Walls Around me Are suffocating me And All These Eyes around me Keep staring at me And my body, Body, Body But All I wanna be is Happy Verse 1. These eyes around me stare at me continuously Time flies but they won’t let me be who I wanna be You should tell em what you think, It’s your life, your dreams, don’t stop to sing- Oh No! Again and again repeat Be bold and don’t you miss a beat you should be… Refrain: Happy, Happy, (I should be) Happy, Happy (I should be) Happy, Happy (I should be) Happy, Happy (ooooh, ooooh, oooh) Verse 2. These walls are trapping my esprit Suffocating me More lies, than truth, misleading me And I gotta break free Seal your fate with golden ink Don’t you wanna see what tomorrow brings? (I wanna, I wanna see it all) Mistakes you shouldn’t repeat Erratic things you must delete You should be Refrain: Happy, Happy, (I know I should be) Happy, Happy (I know I) Happy (I know I), Happy Happy, Happy, Happy (ooooh, ooooh, oooh)

(spoken) (Look at him…Laughter. Listen.) Verse 1. We get along We love similar songs You understand You understand me in every way When I am down You lift me up with a sound A sound I cannot explain You are my favourite friend, yeah. Refrain: You are my favorite friend You are my favorite friend (My Favorite friend, yeah) You are my favorite friend You are my favorite friend Verse 2. When you're in need A true friend is indeed He understands He will mend your heart again Then you should know A heart shaped box isn't soul He wears his heart on a sleeve A true friend has love to give, yeah Refrain: You are my favorite friend (My Favorite friend, yeah) You are my favorite friend (My Favorite friend, favorite friend) You are my favorite friend You are my favorite friend

Verse 1. I used to think I could Stop the hands of time and knock on wood Things will turn out fine Wasting all my days and living for the night Then out of the blue An anomaly appeared it was you My wildest dreams came true What am I supposed to do? Refrain: No one gets me like you do No one gets me like you do For who I am And what I could be Bringing out the best in me Noone gets me like you do Verse 2. Always misunderstood Claiming what is mine And see what's good But still in denial In it for the thrill No substance, banal Then claiming the coup And to win the battle, shocked, but who knew? My magic bel esprit, you are my victory Refrain: No one gets me like you do No one gets me like you do For who I am And what I could be Bringing out the best in me No one gets me like you do

Verse 1. I couldn’t possibly give you more than I already have Nothing that we do can save this ship from sinking, hell yeah What’s it gonna be, whatcha gonna say? Do you have a plan, how we gonna play? Wanna be with you, do you feel the same? Do we start anew, can we win the game? Are you with me, matey, can we do it, if we try it? I am willing to give all I have, but time is running Refrain: Running out of time Running out of time Running out of time Running… Verse 2. I couldn’t honestly look you in the eye and then pretend That you don’t phase me, you amaze me that’s the truth, it must be said What’s it gonna be, whatcha gonna say? Do you have a plan, how we’re gonna play? Wanna be with you, do you feel the same? Do we start anew, can we win the game? Are you with me matey, can we do it, if we try it? I am willing to give all I have, but time is running Refrain: Running out of time Running out of time Running out of time Running… Rap (Rica Shay): Ya Ho, Mavin This boy be trippin, trippin’?, that’s right Yeah, I’m about to tell him what’s up I’m about to really break it down Rica Shay, listen up Hey, little homie, get your shoes untight Now your tripping on your words, then you’re slipping on your pride Told me that you cared, never told me that you lied Gave you all I got and you took it for a ride Need to understand that I’m looking for a man You told me that you’re sorry, but I just don’t give a damn Clock keeps ticking and I wonder where you at Listen up buddy, I ain’t got no time for that Had to be a mess, had to dirty up my Nike’s Hell you be trippin’ if you think I’d be your wifey All up in my face, so why you getting hifi First you say you hate me, now you say you like me Running, yo, I’m running, running out of time…

Werq 03:36
On my way to work I got a funny feeling Like a monkey on my back Climbing up the ceiling Can't explain what came over me All I feel is a mental block and insecurity He said, she said, boy, hold that sucker down Instead of running all over town Freaky playing coy, shooting cupids down One by one, until the lying bleeding on the ground Refrain: Gonna make you werq for my lovin' Gonna make you werq for my huggin' Gonna make you werq for my lovin' Gonna make you work. Verse 2 Now you get berserk Acting all frustrated (whatever) Me, I'm turning cold And you're intimidated I repeat no one's playing me (No) I'd rather be alone than sorry So won't you set me free My bad, I enjoy walking with a frown On my pretty poker face , no one steals my crown Where's my dignity, why am I so weak? I guess my sorry ass will follow soon But now freak!

How can it be That I'm still alone My love is free Fighting on my own (ooooh) Day in, day out I am faltering Late in the night I am wondering Where you are I still believe, I still believe in love Making believe I'm a one-man band No one can see, no one understands Breaking it down I do testify (Testify, Testify) Truly profound I objectify Every shining star Spoken word: You know, call me a fool, but I still believe in love, yeah Break it down yeah.

about

Mavin is a Berlin raised Afro-Polish musician, songwriter, music selector aka DJ and producer. After the recent release of his single Time (Is A Promise), he's now ready to drop his first solo album LOVE.
Mavin explains the concept behind it's creation of his album: 'The idea came from the urge to create what I want to listen to and what's not produced like this anymore. Old-school Disco Influences, paired with early Vocal House productions meets classic pop songwriting. Strong hooks and harmonies and melodies and shuffling beats. A feel good affair. Lyrically, the songs address anything from wanting love, being loved or losing love.'
The majority of the album was produced by BonomoLeMagass; that's the production and songwriting team of Mavin alongside American-born musician / producer Snax. The two first teamed up in Mavin's former project Manhooker. Reflecting on the vibe they create together, Mavin explains, 'Snax simply gets me and pushed me to go all the way; daring me to be more open and in-your-face with my pop songwriting. He inspired me to go into the whole new dimension of funk, soul and r&b.' Stand out tracks with the BonomoLeMagass sound are Making Music, Let My Body and Running Out Of Time. It also only stands to reason that LOVE would be released on Snax's own imprint, Random Records.
Further themes and production collabs abound, such as the flagship single from LOVE, Time (Is A Promise), produced with DJ Rotciv and written as a personal farewell dedication to a beloved family member. My Favorite Friend, produced with Eric D. Clark from Whirlpool Productions was written about friendship. ‘It’s about having found a soulmate' says Mavin, 'a person you trust blindly. A person who understands you as a human being’.
