Jaïr Faria's newest single, "Do Better," provides a gruff, referential rallying cry. Seamlessly stitching together pop, neo-soul, and indie rock influences, Faria has developed an undeniably his own sound: intimate and universal at once.
"Do Better" explores the emotional aftermath of a breakup. With lyrics that encapsulate the bittersweet tug of seeing an ex and wanting to slip back into the familiar trappings of old feelings, "Do Better" is as much repeating a cycle as it is self-improvement. It's a song that embraces the complexity of moving forward without apologizing, making it instantly relatable to anyone who has ever tried to move on.
"Do Better" is an instant earworm. A dynamic arrangement of guitar, keys, bass, and drums lays the foundation for Faria's jaw-dropping vocals, which blaze through "Do Better" like lightning. His voice glides between vulnerability and strength, creating a vivid portrait of love wasted and lessons learned. He recycles a song-worthy melody , and it stays a reminder of his pen and penmanship long after the song is over.
Jaïr Faria is showing that he's not just another musician in a crowded music scene, he's a force of nature. "Do Better" is a flat-out statement from his deepening discography, a song that needs to be felt as much as heard. Cry it all out. Whether you're mending a broken heart or love a good song, this one is not to be missed.
