Brayton Bowman Gets “Real” On His New Single: Listen

Brayton Bowman has been steadily putting out truly great music — from a slick cover of Britney Spears‘ “…Baby One More Time” to the MNEK-produced “Skin Deep.” Today (July 17), the Philadelphia native has released yet another solid tune.

Simply titled “Real,” the tune kicks off with a chilled piano melody and quickly dives into a hard-hitting mid-tempo that rings with a passionate ’90s R&B-influence. When Bowman belts out “I’m done with all of the lies,” you have no choice but to believe him. The song is the latest track off the singer’s forthcoming The Update EP.

Read what Bowman had to say about the makings of “Real”:

Everybody got a fake friend somewhere. Whether it’s some wannabe boyfriend, a two-timing girlfriend, your used-to-be best friend or some stranger off the street giving you the stank eye…you can feel it when someone’s not keeping it 100 with you. We were at my partner’s studio in Shoreditch a few months back vibing to this track & my boy Ryan Ashley looks up and just goes “YA GOTTA BE REALLLLLLLLLL”….and the rest was kind of history.
