If you’ve ever struggled to connect with American rappers bragging about their sweet rides, Lemaire has the track for you. The Gold Coast rapper’s new single “Ford Laser” is one for all the Aussies who can only dream about a luxury sports car. He might have a “shitbox car” with “no aircon,” but he’s not going to let that dampen his mood! Add a funky beat to those hilarious lyrics and you’ve got a recipe for a good time.
Listening to the lyrics, you should know this song has come from a real place. But just in case you thought he was putting it on, Lemaire’s music video features his now-famous Ford Laser.
“I have always wondered if owning an expensive car, as opposed to my piece of shit Ford Laser, would make me any happier in my day-to-day life,” Lemaire admitted. “I feel like the satisfaction associated with buying things (like cars, clothing, phones) is a very short-lived, fleeting happiness, and before long they just become standard. I wrote this song to express my content with what I have already: friends, family, time, music, and an absolute lemon of a Ford Laser.”
Lemaire will celebrate the release of “Ford Laser” with a hometown show at Miami Marketta on February 25.
