American singer-songwriter Wolfgang Valbrun has followed in the footsteps of soul music greats and delivered outstanding soul on his single “I’ll Be Your Prey.”
It was written by band mate and virtuoso blues guitarist Adam Holgate and proved to be a slow burn highlight of the vinyl version of his debut album Flawed By Design, where it first appeared.
After moving from New York to France in his teens Wolfgang found favour on the Paris circuit before being recruited as lead singer for avant-garde UK soul and jazz band ephemerals.
With ephemerals he toured the world and attracted a fervent following (as well as many millions of streams). Alongside ephemerals he also performed and wrote for French hip hop and soul legend GUTS after a chance meeting when they played the same stage at Glastonbury.
Having made the decision to write and record under his own name, Wolfgang assembled a crack team of players from across his previous projects and began writing and recording in the UK with his predominantly Bristol based band.
Flawed by Design came out in May 2024 and was rapturously reviewed. Launch shows in Paris and London followed by UK festival appearances further won over new fans.
Always an emotional moment in Wolfgang Valbrun’s live show, “I’ll Be Your Prey” is a song about a love affair gone wrong and showcases Wolfgang’s incredible soul voice and the Clifton Shoals chops of his superbly greasy Bristol based band.
