The wait is over! Grammy winner Lil Eddie is stepping into the spotlight with the global release of his album, Already Yours. After years of creating hits for music’s biggest stars, the multi-talented artist is ready to take center stage and share his personal journey through his own voice. Lil Eddie, born Edwin Serrano, has been the creative force behind chart-toppers for legends like Usher, Jennifer Lopez, and Janet Jackson, to name only a few.
Originally a sensation in Japan, where it dominated the charts, Already Yours is now available worldwide. The album is an expression of gratitude and connection. Lil Eddie shares, “After the love and success I received in Japan, I felt embraced by the country. The title Already Yours reflects that feeling of being at home.“
With how good this album is, I wouldn’t be surprised if it finds the same success outside of Japan.
The album’s lead single, “Guardian Angel”, features Amerie and brings a message of love and resilience that resonates in today’s world. The song encapsulates the hope and protection we all crave in these challenging times. For Lil Eddie, this collaboration is a dream fulfilled.
“I have always been a fan of hers and wrote on her album so for her to sing with me on mine was a dream come true” – Lil Eddie
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.
