Spotify has released two new singles from your favorite singer/songwriter on your daddy’s side, Durand Bernarr.

In his first single, Durand reimagined his song “Leveled,” offering a pared-down version that allows his vocals to shine. For his second single, he covered Seal’s song, “Kiss from a Rose,” offering a passionate rendition of the iconic song while incorporating his unique sound.
“When my father gave me Seal’s eponymous second album at 10 years old, I knew I wanted to create something similar at some point in my life. Revisiting the album as an adult evokes the same childhood thought, but I feel the lyrics more now,” says Durand. “Honestly, the way he expresses love, life, loss, and gratitude in his stories makes me weep. That raw emotion gave me the push to approach “Kiss From a Rose” in a way I wouldn’t have been able to before experiencing my own trials in life. It’s a song that I hadn’t sung before and I wanted to showcase a different dynamic with my art. I hope my cousins enjoy it!”
In addition, Durand recently announced “My Bad For Taking So Long…The Wanderlust Tour Continues.” The 16-city tour begins on September 6th at The Abbey in Orlando, FL., and will make stops across the U.S. in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and more before concluding in Berlin, Germany, on November 20th.
