Red Velvet Papi Shoots for the Stars with "Outer Space"

Red Velvet Papi has always been a master at creating immersive sonic experiences, seamlessly blending vulnerability with an undeniable charm. His latest single, Outer Space, is no exception. This self-produced Alt-R&B track is a mesmerizing voyage beyond the stratosphere, where love, longing, and nostalgia meet in a cosmic embrace.

Outer Space doesn’t just describe love—it makes you feel it. Each note suspends the listener in a dreamlike state, embodying the heady rush of a first kiss and the bittersweet yearning that lingers long after. This track serves as a spiritual sequel to Lava Girl from his I Love Girls EP, further deepening the narrative of love and longing.

For Red Velvet Papi, every beat tells a story before a single lyric is written. “I pretty much always start with the beat and let it tell me what to write,” he says. “The actual music does the heavy lifting for conveying emotion, and the lyrics simply accent it.” His signature Bedroom Hip-Hop/R&B style blends soft, lo-fi elements with smooth, genre-bending production, making his sound instantly recognizable while resisting easy categorization.

With Outer Space marking the third single from his forthcoming album, fans can expect even more sonic surprises. “It’s going to show my growth as a producer, but also as a jack of all trades. My songwriting is as sharp as ever, I’m leaning into my singing ability with confidence, and I’ve engineered this project entirely by myself.”

Beyond his solo project, he’s also gearing up to drop a collaborative album with Atlanta-based rapper M3rce, fully produced and engineered by him. With Outer Space, Red Velvet Papi captures the infinite complexity of love in a way that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. If this track is any indication, his musical ascent is only just beginning.
