Brooklyn’s own SCARLEN just plugged in, turned every knob to eleven, and blasted a shot of energy straight into the veins of the NYC scene with their latest single, “secret, baby!”.
At the helm is Sierra Carlen, on keys and vocals who writes the music. She’s got the vision. Then you’ve got Colin Colford, producer, guitarist, synth wizard, and mixing guru. This guy is the one in the trenches, carving out that super dynamic sound that makes the track slam. Holding down the fort with a bass line that’s all punch and groove is Andrew Koss. And laying down the law with a percussive assault that’s tighter than a snare drum head is Austin Deyo. This is Sierra, her best friend’s boyfriend (that’s Andrew), and two of Andrew’s mates who just keep showing up to rip gigs. That’s a rock band.
The track is built on a cheeky narrative of love and hidden truths. The vibe is playful, energetic, with a shot of nostalgia that feels like discovering a killer lost track from a golden era. But don’t let the fun fool you—there’s a layer of melancholy grit under the hood, a clever tension that gives the song its weight.
“secret, baby!” is fun, smart, and rocks without apology. SCARLEN is reviving the spirit of a proper rock band where every member’s contribution is a vital piece of the puzzle.
