Lavaud stopped by HOT 97 to talk to Nessa about the “Change Clothes” remix with Pardison Fontaine—how it came together, why his verse flipped the perspective, and what the song says about leaving situations that don’t value you. She opens up about setting boundaries, the relationship that supports her career, and the red flags she wishes she caught earlier. Lavaud also shares the moment Party prayed over their video shoot, details the Jersey “LA Loft” set, and shouts out the friends-and-family creative team behind it.
They get into Lavaud’s roots—Mauritius and Hackney—her musician dad, the instruments she plays, and the artists who shaped her. She talks about early starstruck moments with Rihanna and Janet Jackson, the healing journey that reshaped her life and music, and why she feels more embraced in the U.S. while R&B grows in the U.K. Plus: her upcoming EP Mauritius dedicated to her grandmother, navigating TikTok drama, and the goal of making timeless records. Stream her “Change Clothes (Remix)” with Pardison Fontaine now.
