“I think about this song all time. It’s about the grind and how it can make you feel and influence your perspective. In the end, you realize nothing matters and this was all just for fun.” - David Brown, lead singer
Though 2020 was a shit show, SWEETTALKER made the absolute best of it by releasing their latest EP, Paradise. And if I’m being honest, this release made my 2020 worthwhile. Every single song is a total jam through and through, especially ‘Born To Lose’.
‘Born To Lose’ is SWEETTALKER’s newest single off of Paradise and man, is it fantastic or what? Any song by SWEETTALKER is a go-to jam in general, but ‘Born To Lose’? Turn it up!
The second you hear the guitar riffs in the beginning, you know you’re in for one hell of a ride. The beginning has that sort of 80’s hard rock sound that makes you want to delve a little more into the genre. I mean, did we jump into a time traveling machine and go back to the era of 80’s hard rock? That’s what it feels like.
As the song moves towards the end, things slow down a bit. ‘Born To Lose’ starts to transform into more of a soft rock sound. The melodies and riffs are what make the song as amazing as it is. Plus, it is true to SWEETTALKER nation.
Not only that - today, they have released a dreamy new music video for ‘Born To Lose’. Watching the video feels like you’re embarking on some sort of electrifying cosmic journey. It’s very aesthetically pleasing to any person who loves the rock ‘n’ roll nostalgia.
Both the song and video really show off the electrifying rock ‘n’ roll power that SWEETTALKER has. ‘Born To Lose’ only makes you want to hear more and more from the Nashville band. Let’s all sit back, turn the radio up to the highest volume on the dial, and enjoy this very rockin’ song.
