Gino V. was the soundtrack to our morning with “Taking Planes,” a smooth and instantly addictive gem that turned the start of the day into a whole mood. Hailing from Lafayette, Louisiana, the multi-talented artist keeps proving he can do it all—sing, produce, write, and bring real soul into every second of a track.
“Taking Planes” glides on a sensual, warm production built on a soulful guitare and rich basslines, silky textures, and that timeless R&B energy we fell in love with in the genre’s golden eras. But this never feels stuck in the past. It sounds fresh, modern, and effortlessly cool. Then the chorus drops, and it’s over—you’re floating. It’s the kind of hook that makes you want to sing alone in your room, dance through the kitchen, or hold someone close late at night while the speakers shake the room.
After finishing a casino gig at 1 a.m., Gino drove three hours to New Orleans, caught a 7 a.m. flight to Philadelphia, and did it all without sleep just to see someone special. That wild journey becomes a relatable anthem about going the distance for connection.
With a deep, stunning voice and undeniable presence, Gino V. just delivered a beautiful surprise. Press play:
