Some songs arrive fully formed, as if summoned by a deeper truth. For Lisa V, that moment came during a quiet, late-night session at the keyboard. What started as a simple melody quickly evolved into “Where You Go”—a rich, genre-blending reflection on letting go, loss, and healing. Blending elements of R&B, jazz, and neo-soul, the track doesn’t just soothe—it excavates. “It’s about letting go of what no longer serves you,” she says. That theme pulses through every note like a heartbeat wrapped in velvet.
At its core, “Where You Go” is a masterclass in emotional contrast: warm, fluid instrumentation paired with sharp lyrical clarity. The chorus—“Don’t know why I keep doing this to myself”—lands like a whispered revelation, inviting listeners to examine their own patterns. There’s no posturing here, just vulnerable truth, anchored in smoky chord progressions and Lisa’s signature restraint. It’s music that doesn’t just play—it lingers.
The song’s intimacy is mirrored in its creation. It became a true family affair: Lisa’s 14-year-old son, Michael B. Vick, laid down the drums with natural precision; guitarist Wayne Kee added texture and soul; and Ted Gary’s unexpected string arrangement brought cinematic depth. Lisa herself wore every hat—writing, arranging, producing—ensuring that no element distracted from the emotional core. “No ego, just essence,” might as well be her mission statement.
With a full EP set to release this August, “Where You Go” acts as both an introduction and a promise. It’s the kind of track that hits differently whether you’re driving solo at midnight or sharing speakers with someone who understands. Quiet but commanding, it’s music built for those ready to feel something real.
Lisa closes the chapter with gratitude—for her collaborators, for her listeners, and for the music that continues to guide her. “I’m so grateful to have been in the company of wonderfully talented artists,” she says. That gratitude hums beneath every word she sings. And if “Where You Go” is any indication, Lisa V’s journey is just beginning.
