In the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry, the emergence of a new talent is always cause for excitement, and Orlando Kallen is no exception. Meet the 18-year-old breakout artist hailing from Australia, whose unique blend of versatility, genuine talent, and edgy persona is set to redefine the music scene. With a rich heritage spanning Greek, Egyptian, and Croatian roots, Orlando’s music is a seamless fusion of his diverse heritage and musical influences. His debut EP, Leave Me Bleeding is already making waves, and with today’s release of the video for his hit new single, “Ex Wants Me Dead,” Orlando proves that he is not just an artist but a visual storyteller, capable of creating immersive experiences for his audience.
Accompanying the song’s haunting melodies, the visually striking music video for "Ex Wants Me Dead" adds a new layer of depth to the song's narrative. Directed with precision and creativity, the video captures the essence of the song, portraying a relationship rollercoaster, filled with passion and resentment. When asked about the inspiration, Orlando says:
“We’ve all had ‘that ex’. This song is a reflection of how love can turn sour, taking you through a wave of emotions, from missing them, hating them, wanting them back, to wtf-am-I-still-doing stuck in this relationship… it’s the feeling of that never-ending cycle. I hope this resonates with my listeners about similar experiences that they too might have faced before, and gives them the strength to get out.”
Drawing inspiration from an eclectic array of artists, including the likes of Billie Eilish, The Weeknd, Miley Cyrus, and Lenny Kravitz, Orlando has crafted a sound that is both contemporary and timeless. His ability to blend elements of pop, electronica, R&B, and rock with his own unique twist showcases a maturity that is rare for someone his age. His EP, Leave Me Bleeding, is a musical odyssey that explores the complexities of human emotions, each track carefully crafted to showcase Orlando’s versatility as an artist and his ability to connect with listeners on a profound level. From soulful ballads to high-energy anthems, the EP offers a diverse range of musical experiences, making it a must-listen for music enthusiasts of all tastes. The release of “Ex Wants Me Dead” follows his first breakthrough single from the EP, “Lone Wolf,” which draws on his many musical talents to create a powerful song that is a testament to independence and defiance in the face of adversity. He followed that with the emotional ballad, “Moonlight”.
