Wolfgang Valbrun Unveils Soulful Gem, 'I'll Be Your Prey'

American singer-songwriter Wolfgang Valbrun has been making waves with his unique blend of leftfield soul and blues. His debut album, 'Flawed By Design', released in May 2024, has garnered rave reviews and cemented his position as a rising star in the music scene. Now, he's treating fans to a hidden gem from the album, 'I'll Be Your Prey', a track that was previously only available on the vinyl release.

Valbrun's journey has been nothing short of fascinating. After relocating from New York to France as a teenager, he honed his craft on the Parisian circuit before landing the coveted role of lead singer for the UK-based avant-garde soul and jazz band, ephemerals. With ephemerals, Valbrun toured the globe, amassing a dedicated fanbase and millions of streams. His talent also caught the attention of French hip hop and soul legend GUTS, leading to collaborations both on stage and in the studio.

Ultimately, Valbrun felt the pull to create music under his own name. Drawing on his extensive network, he assembled a group of top-tier musicians, primarily from Bristol, to bring his vision to life. "Flawed By Design" is a testament to their combined artistry, showcasing Valbrun's soulful vocals and the band's exceptional musicianship.

'I'll Be Your Prey' stands out as a particular highlight. Penned by bandmate and blues guitarist extraordinaire Adam Holgate, the song is a slow-burning exploration of a love affair gone wrong. Valbrun's voice, imbued with raw emotion, soars over the music, while the band lays down a groove that's both sophisticated and gritty.

Live performances of 'I'll Be Your Prey' have become a fan favourite, known for their intensity and emotional depth. The song perfectly captures the essence of Valbrun's artistry: soulful, authentic, and undeniably captivating. With 'I'll Be Your Prey', Wolfgang Valbrun proves that he's not just following in the footsteps of soul greats, he's carving his own path to greatness.
