welcome to the running joke LP.

this is my first album released since december 2020, and A LOT HAS CHANGED. i was 15 back then, and wasn't even mlvn. yet. everything shifted since then with time, development, and age.

an immense amount of work has been put into this entire album, and after 10 years of music production, i'd say this is actually the best album i've ever created to this date. i originally wanted to release this album in october 2024, but because so many songs were still a work in progress, i had to delay it to may 2025.

WE ARE FINALLY HERE! THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING TO THIS MASTERPIECE!!!! <333 LOVE YOU ALL

RUNNING JOKE LP

this song was finished in september 2021, and i actually have a pleasant secret for this one. it was the first mlvn. song ever created. that's right.

i went through a MASSIVE rebrand in 2021 in order to display a shift in character, reflective of who i have become. i was 16 at the time, and i was NOT PROUD OF WHO I USED TO BE. and so i made the change.

this was the beginning of that change, i just didnt know what to do with this song for years and now its finally out on my largest album yet!

mlvn. - wildcard

original release date: june 23, 2023
re-release date (as part of the LP): may 16, 2025

i promise, there is a reason this was re-released after being released 2 years ago. due to the fact that i believe it really is one of my greatest songs of all time, and with how little attention/recognition it got when it came out, i decided to put it in this incredible album, hoping for more recognition for this song.

mlvn. - crazy

finished this greek-named song in july 2023, submitted it to like 5 different labels, and it just never ended up being released, or i never got a response from them lol

its the first tune in my 2024 showcase, and im finally releasing it in may 2025.

mlvn. - ελληνικά W

i finished this VIP in july 2023 and i've been wanting to put it out for so long, but couldnt find the perfect opportunity. figured this was it.

mlvn. - bussin (VIP)

started: november 16, 2023
finished: december 10, 2023
refined and prepared for release: december 6, 2024

this song was a TOTAL JOYRIDE TO MAKE!!! and it's actually, in my opinion, one of my greatest songs ever made. it was the final tune in my 2024 showcase, and i listen to this song probably three or four times a week since the time it was finished.

while it sounds like a simple tune, i turned it into something catchy, nostalgic, and memorable. so so happy its finally coming out!!!!!

mlvn. - air freshener

finished in april 2024 and started in september 2023, this was made during the largest shift i've ever seen in myself in all areas. from personality, to maturity, to development overall. this song means a lot to me, and i am so happy its finally out.

mlvn. - royalty

i had actually planned to release this in november 2024. this song was started in june 2024 and finished in september 2024.

this song initially started out as a joke in tribute to the youtube comedy "dracula flow" but it actually became something incredible. another one of my greatest of all time songs, i am extremely excited that this is on the album!!

mlvn. - dracula flow

finished in september 2024, this is a tune i dont think i put AS MUCH TIME into, but it was made during a time where i was having a bit of a creative crisis. i needed a style change, and this was an attempt at such change.

mlvn. - stargaze

started in december 2024, and finished in april 2025, this song is definitely my favorite tune i've made in 2025 so far. it's incredibly catchy, feels nostalgic for me since its so reflective of how my older style of melody has shifted into something newer like this.

so happy i decided to put this in the album!!

mlvn. - iron lung

started in november 2024, finished in april 2025.

this song was actually inspired by my good friend HydraDubz, and i wouldn't say i got close to his style, but i somehow made it a creative tune with my own touches rather than just making it like his music.

love you hydra!!! <33

mlvn. - tonedeaf

this song was finished in 2025, but it was in production since september 2024. it started out as a joke, but somehow it became something i really love, filled with energy and danceability. now its finally out in may 2025!!!

mlvn. - ear candy

the final song on the album, this was started in august 2024 and finished in april 2025. i wanted to make something both melodic and heavy with this, and i'd say i did pretty damn well at achieving that. love this tune, and i hope you all do, too!!
