“THE MEXICAN/COLOMBIAN ARTIST, PRODUCER, RAPPER, AND MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST MOVES EFFORTLESSLY BETWEEN SOUL, R&B, JAZZ, HIP-HOP, AND ALT-POP, BUT IT’S THE CHARISMA IN THEIR DELIVERY… SOMETIMES BLUESY GRIT, SOMETIMES SILKY CROON… THAT MAKES IT STICK.”
– BLURRED CULTURE
“‘STRANGE WORLD’ HAS AN ALMOST STEVIE WONDER-LIKE EUPHORIA”
– BUZZ BANDS LA
Today, Los Angeles based Mexican/Colombian artist, producer, singer, rapper, and multi-instrumentalist St. Panther (Dani Bojorges-Giraldo, they/them) releases a soulful R&B single, “The Deal.” Filled with old-school lustre, soundtracked by meticulous bass lines and hypnotic jazzy keys dialed in by St. Panther themselves, “The Deal” confesses love and admiration with an abundance of growing pain. - Listen here
An instant classic, “The Deal” is the moment in the upcoming Strange World EP where St. Panther stops dedicating themselves to the fast-moving world for just a moment, to reassess how that might’ve hurt something more tender and closer to home. Accompanying the single, St. Panther releases a mesmerizing and meditative live performance video of “The Deal,” featuring various long-time collaborators including the upcoming EP’s co-producer, McClenney (H.E.R., Khalid, Jamila Woods). - Watch here
On the new single, St. Panther said: “Now I’m not sure if it’s always right to, but I tend to put music where prolonged silences live. I’m not sure why it’s so hard to say what sometimes only music can, but in this case I wish someone had known me better and wanted to write a song like Dido’s ‘White Flag’ shortly afterward, a song that said - if nothing else - my love was true.”
