Hip-hop anthems with accompanying dance routines are making a comeback in 2015 thanks to the surprise success of Silento’s “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” and iHeart Memphis’ “Hit The Quan.” Jovanie is hoping to grab a piece of the pie with debut single “Whip!” It’s definitely catchy enough to take off and the 14-year-old impresses with his slick vocal and dance moves. Think (very) early Chris Brown with a bit more edge.
The Brooklyn-native dropped the video today (September 1) and it finds him hanging with some friends. It starts off with the group chatting about normal teenage things like going to Pizza Hut and hitting the arcade. That’s followed by an impromptu performance that finds Jovanie showing off his best moves for the girls. “Whip!” is the first taste of the newcomer’s debut album What’s The Move, Pt. 2.
