Milwaukee-born, Los Angeles-based multi-talented artist James Laurent returns with his incendiary new single, “Dangerous Love”, a track that pulses with raw emotion, pop-punk intensity, and pop-savvy production. Crafted entirely overnight in his bedroom studio, the song captures the dizzying highs and destructive lows of infatuation, creating a sonic whirlwind that feels both immediate and deeply personal.
Driven by crunchy guitars, punchy drums, and Laurent’s signature layered harmonies, “Dangerous Love” balances chaos with precision, illustrating his mastery as a producer and engineer. It’s a track that wears its heart on its sleeve, merging sonic grit with calculated pop sensibility to stunning effect.
Laurent’s artistic versatility shines throughout the single. From Broadway-inspired vocal layering to hints of metal-driven aggression, every element feels intentional, highlighting a creator unafraid to blur genre boundaries. “Love is one of the most beautiful things about being human,” Laurent reflects. “In its rawest form, it can build empires or ruthlessly tear them apart.” That complexity seeps into the music, giving “Dangerous Love” its emotional bite.
A former aspiring professional soccer player, Laurent turned to music after a career-ending injury, quickly establishing himself as a sought-after engineer and producer in Los Angeles. With credits spanning Nelly, A$AP Ant, Smokepurpp, and contributions to hit shows like South Park and The Bear, Laurent brings technical mastery to every note he creates. Now, at just 25, he merges that precision with raw artistry, crafting music that is as human as it is electrifying.
“Dangerous Love” is a bold glimpse into Laurent’s next chapter, an unapologetically high-energy, genre-defying track that cements him as an artist capable of marrying emotional honesty with technical brilliance. It’s messy, beautiful, and impossible to ignore, just like love itself.
