There is nothing we love more than discovering a rising talent on new music Fridays, and this week that artist is Giovanni Niubo. At just 18 years old, the multi-faceted pop-rock singer is carving out a space for himself in the music world with the help of his electric new track “Bets On U”. With the artist himself coining his sound as ‘Bruno Mars meets rock’, sweet-sounding melodies meet angsty bars in the track, all of which are layered over bold and punchy instrumentation. And, the result? A blended tune worthy of a top spot on your weekend’s playlist.

When discussing the forever-sweet messaging of the new release, Giovanni simply states, “‘Bets On U’ is an ode to the people in the industry who work so hard to help the artists’ dreams come to fruition.”

While sonically and lyrically enough to captivate your attention, Giovanni looked to make this release one to truly remember with the help of its accompanying visuals. In a music video drenched in deep red lighting, fans of the artist can watch him and a gang of friends take to a hedonistic basement party in which they dance the night away. Sure to be climbing up the charts and making a name for himself this year, Giovanni Niubo is definitely one to watch.
