Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Brandon shares “Right Back,” a guitar-driven, alt-R&B track where warm vocals and syncopated beats meet rich soundscapes. It’s also the lead single from his upcoming full-length debut Before You Go, set to arrive 9th May on Secretly Canadian.
Talking about the single, Brandon explains, “It explores the complexity of addictive love, and how love can be so blinding. Likening someone to cyanide, a poison, BUT still throwing yourself at them, thinking it’ll work out. It’s an intense, internal struggle. And no matter how hard you try not to, you keep running right back to them.”
Love doesn’t exist in isolation—it lingers, shifts, and resurfaces in ways we don’t always expect. Such is the case for 27-year-old singer Brandon, who explores all that and more on his forthcoming debut. A boundless collection of soul and R&B-infused alternative-pop guitar songs, Before You Go explores the blurred lines between past and present, heartbreak and healing.
Before You Go doesn’t just document heartbreak; it embraces the complexities of love, the beauty of uncertainty, and the inevitability of change. When crafting his full-length debut — he aimed for a lasting sound that may live in a record collection forever. “A lot of my favorite artists are stuck like Gorilla Glue on the planet; they’ll never be erasable,” he offers. “I want to create timeless music like that too.”
Brandon, the project of Brandon Joseph, was born to Trinidadian parents in Riverside, California, and grew up in a family of musicians and all-around music lovers. His mom, a singer, inspired him at a young age to sing himself, joining the kids choir at his local church at the age of 7. From there, his love for music grew and became the epicenter of his life.
