Listen Here – OUT NOW!
Get ready to pounce on some serious good vibes, Laughing Cats, the dynamic pop duo with a knack for turning life’s quirks into ear candy, dropped their debut single ‘GYB‘ on the 25th October, 2024. This isn’t just a song; it’s the opening salvo of their waterfall-style album Funny Money, and it’s here to sprinkle a little sass and sunshine on your playlist.
GYB, short for “Get You Back,” if you’re wondering, sprang from a real-life tale of a friend stuck with a slacker beau who needed a wake-up call. “Tony’s composition came to him swiftly,” says the band, “and the lyrics were a fun journey, just like creating the whole song.” What emerged is a fizzy pop concoction that’s equal parts empowering and playful, with a light-hearted bounce that dares you not to smile. It’s a feel good banger which puts a guaranteed smile on your face. The music video is a silly, whimsical romp that’s as infectious as the track itself, doubling down on the duo’s mission to keep things delightfully unserious.
Laughing Cats are no strangers to the spotlight. Tony Fredianelli, a 13-year veteran of multi-platinum rockers Third Eye Blind, brings a treasure trove of experience, think uncredited magic on hits like Semi-Charmed Life and Motorcycle Drive By. Paired with Lauren Schiff, a former stage actress whose songwriting chops shine like a spotlight, they’re a duo built for pop domination. Together, they’ve crafted Funny Money, an album bursting with commercial hooks and vibes for days, and GYB is just the first taste.
The buzz is already electric. Plastic Magazine raves: “With intricately rattling percussion, airy guitar tones, and soft sonic textures capped by sensational vocal performances, GYB delivers a charming and anthemic sound that’s sure to win over fans around the world.” And it’s working, tens of thousands have already latched onto the single, a number that’s climbing faster than a cat up a curtain. With Funny Money already delivering four tracks, the fifth song, Love On Fire, drops this April. You can dive into the album on Spotify, where Laughing Cats continues to solidify their place in both indie and mainstream pop with a purr-sistent energy, and GYB stands out as a pop gem that keeps you hooked.
