Dean Brady 'Falling'
Brisbane-born singer-songwriter’s debut single 'Falling' is a gorgeous, elegantly wounded R&B song, capturing all the heartbroken showmanship of the Motown era with a nod to contemporary club funk.
Dean Brady strikes a dazzling first impression.
Descended from the Gugu Yalanji and Birrigubba people and the Matabele Zimbabwean people, Brady was born into a musical household.
His parents were both members of the legendary “Outback Motown” group Banawurun, and he grew up hearing their band practise in the living room and listening to his mother singing old soul songs as she cooked dinner.
Performance, perhaps, is in his DNA – you can certainly hear his comfort in the spotlight on Falling, which feels as lived-in and well-fitting as a vintage leather jacket.
Written and produced with Jerome and Jacob Farah, 'Falling' is a unique beast as far as debut singles go – it’s wonderfully fleet-footed while still being nakedly emotional, a surprising fusion of arena-sized ambition with lyrics that, in the hands of someone less bold, may be secreted away in a diary somewhere.
The song’s spine is its hip-hop influence, the sinewy bassline and rattling beats that take this from pure revivalism into an entirely new realm.
Funky R & B ? Finger lick'n good !!
