Brandon & Leah are ready to storm your beaches, biatches. The Malibu-based acoustic pop-folk duo (and couple) have released the music video for their album's first track and debut single, the upbeat "Life Happens." Brandon & Leah try to capture in their music the balmy summertime spirit of their hometown. Judging by their debut album and single, "Life Happens," they pull it off with ease.
"Brandon" is actually Brandon Jenner, son of Bruce Jenner and stepbrother to the entire Kardashian clan. And "Leah" is Leah Felder, daughter of guitarist Don Felder of Eagles fame. Brandon & Leah have been making music together since their high school days. Passing on the Sunset Boulevard nightlife in Malibu, the super-attractive power couple chose instead to spend their time surfing and singing on bonfire-lit beaches. "Everything is groove based," says Brandon. "We like things with a positive, beach vibe. If our songs don’t make you want bob your head, then we haven't done our job."
"Life Happens" is a cheeky, laid-back and sweet pop song with a vibe reminiscent of Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz. Vocally, Leah's sunny sound reminds us a bit of Colbie Caillat mixed with the sass of Karmin's Amy Heidemann. The new album showcases the duo's high, bright sound: plenty of ukulele and upfret acoustic guitar, Caribbean-flavored beats and Leah's honeyed lead vocals. They tend to write about the myriad connections and disconnections between people, but the mood is always light and fun.
In the video, Brandon & Leah do supercute coupley things: riding bikes together, frolicking on the beach, surfing and baking a homemade cake. They even pick fresh fruit from an orchard. Romance! As the video goes on, you quickly realize that you're in the presence of what is quite possibly the happiest couple on Earth and then you dump your mediocre boyfriend immediately. With the new album, single and "Life Happens" video, Brandon & Leah are set to take on the world. And with so much momentum going for the duo, the world had better get ready for a captivating new musical vision. "We can't wait on anyone to say yes," says Leah, who is fired up and ready to go. "We're responsible for our own future."
