Setting the tone with intricate yet vivid African-inspired percussion and vocal textures, BrandosLife opens his single Mistakes with the lyrics, “You ain’t the one…”

With a luscious and crisp tone, BrandosLife sings vulnerably, “People make mistakes, but you were my first…” as the song expands with an Afropop frequency to tell the story of being used and abused over the potential of a crush, a tale of “manipulation, heartbreak and a dash of pettiness”.

Speaking on the meaning of his release, BrandosLife confesses, “They do say crushes are nothing but a lack of information; which must be why I’m always left disappointed.”

His sage advice is to “pay attention to red flags”! BrandosLife is a twenty-one-year-old singer-songwriter from London, United Kingdom, who makes music to connect and get people moving through the art of storytelling in music.

Mistakes feels like a cathartic journey for the listener and the artist, as BrandosLife finishes the song with a request for freedom from the shackles of a problematic relationship.

We love BrandosLife‘s flow and poetic delivery with intelligent, self-aware lyricism and epic vocal range! We have added Mistakes to our New Music Spotlight playlist and have been streaming BrandosLife‘s wider discography!
