Paulo and the Problem's latest single, "Summer Rain," released on May 28, 2025, through Fogwood Records. Featuring guest vocals from their longtime collaborator, Mekfly, seamlessly blends feelings of memories with smooth, laid-back R&B sounds, capturing both heartache and the gentle ambiance of a warm afternoon.
"Summer Rain" gently pulls you in without needing to shout for attention. It starts smoothly, showcasing lovely guitar melodies, rich harmonies, and a rhythm section that brings in jazz influences. Paulo's heartfelt singing reflects the song's themes of fleeting love and nighttime thoughts. Mekfly's addition brings a friendly warmth that makes the dreamy atmosphere feel real and relatable. If their first single caught your interest, this second one clearly shows what Paulo and the Problems are all about, creating music that reflects those complex feelings we experience during summer, where joy can sometimes mix with grief. This music also offers a sneak peek of their upcoming album, "Stupid Sexy Paulo," hinting at a band that skillfully blends humor, heartache, and passion.
There's a sense of calm in "Summer Rain" that feels earned, like sharing a conversation with a good friend while sitting under a café awning in the rain. The music has a classic feel but is refreshingly honest and relatable, making it perfect for summer drives, peaceful walks, or slow dancing at home.
