New R&B single "Java Love" leaves listeners in a groove and launches an official music video!

Orlando, FL (August 4, 2023) - R&B Singer-Songwriter Brandon Vee drops a new single, “Java Love” on Friday, August 4th. The song’s overarching theme connects the concept of coffee to men and women of color. Some of the chorus lyrics read:

Java love (oh yeah oh yeah)

I need your Java love

Melanin my medicine

Everything I love it when

I need that

I love that

Gimme your Java love

The lyrics, ‘Coffee you are my happiness straight black with no additives’ and ‘Caution that you’re hot, but I know you’re not, they just want to put the label on’ stand out to me. They point to the notion of media continuously trying to take women of color and make them ‘palatable’ for others by lightening their skin, hiding their curves, or altering how they speak.”

- R&B Artist, Brandon Vee, on the meaning behind lyrics of "Java Love"

Vee describes that as a Black and Latino man, “Being accepted in certain situations such as intimacy, but just as easily being dismissed in other scenarios” is a vicious cycle that society has supported time and time again. The lyrical metaphor in “Java Love” highlights the societal issue of hyper-sexualization in the media, especially for women of color. Vee goes on to explain that often, “...Women of color get labeled as ‘sassy’ or ‘angry black women’ when they try to express themselves or stand up for themselves. My goal for this new single was to empower women of color and remind them that they seen, heard, acknowledged, and celebrated from one person of color to another.”

“Java Love” shines light on women of color feeling a constant pressure to measure up to societal standards of who they ‘should be.’ This track acts as a celebration of differences and a reminder of love above all of the challenges in this world.”
