Singer/Songwriter DeCarlo Releases Debut Single About Trauma

Yesterday, DeCarlo debuted his single Understand from his solo debut EP Layers, to be released later this year. Layers acts as a color palette and a narration of DeCarlo’s journey to success. It also integrates stories about his personal life experiences.

The track Understand was written by DeCarlo and produced by Composer (Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Kehlani, Tank). DeCarlo showcases his melodic, smooth vocals as he provides context to behavioral patterns exhibited as a result of coping with traumatic experiences. The lyrics “they don’t understand,” are a plea for acknowledgement and assistance. The lyric video is a montage that narrates several protagonists’ daily challenges due to race, gender, sexual orientation and socio-economic background.

Understand is a song about trying to survive in the world while battling grief, addiction, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression or any mental illness,” says DeCarlo. “It was important for me to provide a visual aid that illuminated what could occur when there is a lack of empathy. The moment we leave the confinement of our home, we are judged by a stranger who isn’t privy to our journey.”

DeCarlo is here to solidify his presence as an artist with his debut EP, Layers, scheduled for release in 2020 beginning with his single “Understand.” For a talented, conscious young man who long ago adopted Isiah 54:17’s “No weapon formed against me shall prosper” as the mantra that inspires his life journey, his artistry and humanity (hence his so-dubbed LIV 17 brand), the imminent release of Layers is the formal introduction of someone who is soon-to-be a substantial force in pop/R&B music for the next generation and beyond.

ABOUT DeCarlo

While in Los Angeles, DeCarlo turned his obstacles into steppingstones in order to rise above tough times. He did not allow homelessness or delayed dreams to interfere in his window of opportunity.
