L Marshall's 'Yellow Chevy' Out NOW
L Marshall has released his new single Yellow Chevy. This awesome tune is a collaboration with Supadups (Drake's ʻControlaʼ and 'Too Good') and gives a first glance at the singerʼs matured style ahead of the release of his debut album, The Amazing Time Machine. L Marshall says,
The song is an expression of what a good morning after should feel like... when you’re totally content with your activities the night before, totally satisfied with the outcome, that’s when to play it. We got sent out to Miami to do some writing and had everything we needed for an epic trip except a nice car... if we’d left it to the label the song would’ve been called ‘Blue Volvo’ or something equally mundane, ha! We broke open our wallets and made epic memories, I think the record brings them to life.
Born Thomas Griffith in London, L struggled with having to conform during school. He remembers,
I was so much trouble that my mum decided to send me to Nigeria to learn some discipline!
He returned to London at 18 to study Sound Engineering. During this time, he continued to build on the song writing he’d started as an 11 year-old. Choosing the name L Marshall both in honour of a character from the Manga series Death Note, and as a nod to his joint hometowns of London and Lagos, he began to work with new producers.
