BRANDEUS Drops Motivational Hit “Paro”
From the sun-kissed shores of the Gold Coast, Australian-born artist BRANDEUS is shaking up the music scene with his latest track “Paro”. A master of blending hip-hop, alt R&B, and pop, BRANDEUS has crafted a motivational R&B trap anthem that’s set to resonate with listeners around the globe.
BRANDEUS, whose journey began when he moved from Brazil to Australia at a young age, has always been passionate about music. Settling in Queensland, he honed his skills as a songwriter, vocalist, and mixing engineer, developing a unique style characterized by profound introspection and incisive socio-political critique. His dynamic blend of rap, singing, and instrumentals creates an atmospheric sound that’s impossible to ignore.
“Paro”, which translates to “Plan” in English, is a declaration of intent. The track represents manifesting success and overcoming the hate and lack of support that often come from the industry. It’s a testament to the power of determination and the unwavering vision of achieving success and financial freedom. BRANDEUS’s lyrics and powerful delivery convey that no amount of negativity can derail his plans to provide for his family and inner circle.
“Paro” (translates “Plan”) to me is a reminder to keep going and pursuing your passion even if you feel like no one believes in you. So many times as an independent artist you feel like giving up but giving up is never an option. The overall plan is to work my dream job and provide financial freedom for my close friends and family.” – BRANDEUS
Laughing Cats’ latest single, “Jerk,” is more than just a song; it’s a time capsule and a fresh take all at once. Lauren Schiff and Tony Fredianelli craft a sound that’s rooted in their love for rock’s golden eras, especially the 60s and 80s, yet their music is unmistakably modern. Together, they create a synergy that appeals to nostalgia without compromising contemporary relevance.
The single opens with a catchy, guitar-driven intro that is undeniably reminiscent of classic rock, instantly evoking images of crowded music venues and vibrant summer nights. Tony’s guitar work shines, intertwining influences from The Troggs and New Order with a crisp, modern twist. It’s clear that Laughing Cats draws deeply from their influences but injects enough originality to make it their own.
Lauren’s lyrics on “Jerk” delve into themes of growth, with her storytelling prowess giving the song a sense of emotional depth. Her vocal delivery balances introspection with a playful edge, letting listeners feel the raw honesty of the song. It’s not every day that a modern rock band can convey both vulnerability and strength in a single track, but Laughing Cats achieves just that.
Initially envisioned as a track sung by a male voice, “Jerk” nevertheless translates seamlessly to Lauren’s perspective, carrying a universal resonance that makes it accessible to all. The song’s story stems from real-life reflections on relationships and personal change. This approach gives the track a relatable narrative that many listeners will recognize from their own experiences.
Musically, “Jerk” holds a subtle complexity. While the song is catchy and upbeat, careful listeners will notice how it layers instruments and vocals to build momentum, giving it a sense of urgency. Tony’s skillful arrangement brings out the best in Lauren’s voice, emphasizing key moments and pulling back when needed, creating a dynamic listening experience.
With, Funny Money, on the horizon, Laughing Cats is setting a strong foundation for what promises to be a remarkable debut album. As “Jerk” showcases, this duo is unafraid to experiment while respecting the genres they cherish. It’s rare to find a band that celebrates rock’s past with such finesse and paves the way forward with such originality.
