Conceived as a means to get out of a songwriting rut, ‘When We Were Younger’ is a seven-song collection centered around the concept of nostalgia. Motivated by a desire to stave off cynicism and embrace the carefree creativity of childhood, in his own words ‘When We Were Younger’ “is a collection of music each relating to figures of the past, whether it be in love, loss, families and friendship."

Filipino-Australian rising star grentperez has today announced his highly anticipated forthcoming EP ‘When We Were Younger’. To mark the release, the Western-Sydney bedroom pop phenomenon has also revealed his latest disco-drenched single "When The Day Is Done", out now everywhere via Fast Friends & AWAL.

Saturated in disco-soul, grentperez describes the new single as “a timeless classic that the whole family can listen to. Or as my dad would say ‘The song I can dance to'”. Picking up the pace dramatically from his most recent single and drama-rich ballad "Us Without Me", "When The Day Is Done" ends in a completely different place to where you started - gradually building up to a punchy syncopated pre-chorus melody before letting loose into an unstoppable roller-rink ready boogie. “This track embodies the line ‘there’s no place like home’ and when all is said and done, I just want to get back home and to the feeling of family having your back no matter where you are.” Every lovingly crafted detail — from the stacked harmonies on the bridge to the roiling congas to that one delayed beat drop in the final chorus — emanates a pure joy.
