A quick glance at BRANDEUS’ Spotify profile reveals a committed creative with millions of streams to his name. It’s not a surprise, as the Australian rapper has always championed a vivid and honest lyrical approach, blending hard-hitting, relatable themes with bouncy instrumentals and contemporary flair. It’s a formula that has worked well so far, one that we also find in BRANDEUS’ latest single, ‘Cold Hearted’.
Taken from the project’s latest album ‘RETRIBUTION’ – out now – ‘Cold Hearted’ narrates passionate love for someone that could be described as ‘icy’, someone so fiercely determined and ambitious whose emotional response is hard to decode. The track’s sonic livery is equally haunting and enigmatic, with minimal bouncy hip-hop beats framed into understated textures and melancholic soundscapes.
BRANDEUS’ sharp and anthemic vocals are a perfect match for such a vivid episode. Their smooth, delicate appearance contrasts well with the song’s gloomy songwriting. In a way, the same can be said for the instrumental, evoking a sultry, impassionate mood that playfully breaks with the general ethos behind ‘Cold Hearted’.
