If you’re a Bootleg Rascal fan, get ready for JUNIE.
JUNIE, the solo project of Bootleg Rascal’s frontman Carlos Lara, will release his raunchy debut single tomorrow, ‘Exercise’.
The smooth tune, produced and mixed by the Sydney-based artist himself and mastered by long-time collaborator Ian Pritchett (Boo Seeka, Kim Churchill, Angus and Julia Stone), is a melting pot of RnB, reggae, pop and soul.
"'Exercise' is a very different sound to Bootleg Rascal," says the multi-instrumentalist.
"Rather than the usual collaborative process I have with Jim, it's just me behind the writing and production on this project.
“Anyone can obsess over certain emotions especially with people you like… This song is a sneak peek into some of those moments for me,” Lara explains.
Lara says the new project aims to take listeners back to the early 2000’s, where artists weren’t as scared to sing about love and how they feel.
“I like being corny, I like being romantic, I hope that comes through in the music”.
In the short time since launching the project, JUNIE has already performed alongside a slew of exciting emerging artists like Down For Tomorrow, A.GIRL, Nelipot, PLGRMS and Wolfjay.
While the accompanying music video for ‘Exercise’ is set to release in the coming weeks, many more JUNIE songs are set to release in the coming months.
