Foodie, the new release from Richmond artist, NAVI (pronounced NAVI), takes audiences on a date night between two food connoisseurs. With wordplay and bars woven into the cracks of the writing, it feels like a restaurant commercial built around neo-soul—but without the corny clichés. It’s more than just a record about food; it’s a relatable concept served with a unique flavor. The restaurant Sweet Pea’s even gets a light shoutout.
Check out the newly released video recorded at Sweat Pea’s below.
