The acclaimed singer-songwriter tells Rolling Stone<\/em> the songs are about ’embracing duality’<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n\tBrent Faiyaz<\/a> is back with two singles named for two very different, very famous fictional <\/a>characters<\/a>, but the singer tells Rolling Stone<\/em> an important throughline connects them. \u201cEverything I\u2019m creating right now is about showing [a] range of concepts, principles, emotions, and experiences,\u201d he said via email. \u201cInnocence versus Indecency. Vulnerability versus guardedness. These tracks capture the core of that.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tOne, called \u201cPeter Pan,\u201d is a dreamy love song, where Faiyaz coos, \u201cDarling open up your window and take my hand \u2018cause there ain\u2019t nowhere we can\u2019t go.\u201d Meanwhile, \u201cTony Soprano\u201d is a melancholy slow burn where Faiyaz laments the perils of his fame and success like a tortured mob boss. \u201cThese hoes mad funny\/Bitch I\u2019m not that funny,\u201d he says, thinking of the women who indulge him for their own gain. \u201cGo \u2018head, laugh for me\/Know you want that bag from me.\u201d Through the track, he also takes comfort in what he can provide for himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
