Keep your eyes (and ears) on this 14-year-old R&B sensation
Jovanie Vital is two years away from applying for his driver’s license, but he might be the most interesting teen in R&B.
Pop music has been marketing teen stars since before the Beatles. These are young, usually attractive boys who can appeal to a wide swath of young girls with their singing and dancing. In pop, these boys are everywhere right now, but what about other genres? Enter 14-year-old Jovanie, born in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, with a soul and a voice for R&B.
His most recent release, “Part 3: What’s the Move,” is the third installment in a series about trying to get a girl. It showcases a playful tone and Jovanie’s really great dance moves.
