Adelaide three-piece Donnarumma has really impressed me with its debut single “Love Your Man.” It’s a jazzy, bluesy little ditty with some of the tightest horns you’re likely to hear.
“Love Your Man is about the jealousy that warped my perception of a relationship I was once in,” the band’s frontman Louis Donnarumma explained. “ The song travels back to a time where I felt betrayed by my partner – what an innocent boy I was! The video shows this toxic relationship where the girl goes insane, kidnaps her partner and tries to kill him – then it is revealed that he’s been cheating on her the whole time and he ends up getting what he deserves. Sounds ridiculous I know, but we tried to be as over the top as we could be. It’s like those moments when you’re so angry you picture the most outrageous stories in your head. We find it amusing and love the irony; there’s this man singing how he doesn’t feel loved, but does nothing but betray her!”
“Love Your Man” comes from Donnarumma’s new EP Billy Billy, which drops on June 30. The band will mark its release with a national tour, making the following pit stops around the country.
