It is easy to be taken with 🎙️ Mike Taveira he’s a handsome fella 😍.  Of course, there’s much more to the pansexual 🏳️‍🌈 musician than those dashing good looks.  Taveira is quite talented and deserves far more attention.  Once again, on his single, 🎵 “1982 Virago”, which arrives post- 💿 Bloom All Night (EP), Taveira wows with his musicianship.  While the song doesn’t even reach two-and-a-half minutes in duration, he sufficiently brings the heat 🥵 – and it is damn hot! “1982 Virago” was written alongside 🎼 ✍ Carly Paige and produced by 🎛️ Hubby.

Mike Taveira, 1982 Virago [📷: Mike Taveira]“You said baby let’s take a ride / Now I’ve got you locked in between my thighs…” Ooh-wee, Mike 😮‍💨 😮‍💨 😮‍💨! That’s the type of sugar honey iced tea 🧋that Mike Taveira is on.  For some context, a Virago is a Yamaha motorcycle 🏍️.  It’s no secret that motorcycles are incredibly fast, exhilarating vehicles, something that this song captures.  While the Virago gets love, intact with a colorful, fresh, electronic pop backdrop, Taveira is less concerned with that bike 🏍️ and more concerned with matters of the heart ❤️.  Of course, the best love songs – falling in or out of love or breaking up – embrace the figurative and metaphorical.  I say all of that to say that Mr. Taveira concocts another surefire winner.  His voice is on-point, the production slick, driven by its rhythmic lines, and the songwriting entertaining and tuneful.  Hot guy, killer song – what more can you ask for? 😁
