Filipino-Australian musician Grentperez is kicking off 2025 the right way with the release of a brand new single, “Dandelion,” and the announcement of his debut studio album, Backflips in a Restaurant.
The newly released track features Australian singer Ruel, and showcases an upbeat nature that’s instantly catchy by its first hook. “When the song was over and done with I couldn’t help but feel that it was missing some umph,” said Perez in an official press statement. “Around this time I had gotten a lot closer to my newfound friend Ruel. My manager and I thought it would be a sick idea to have him on, two Aussies on a track would be epic. So I asked. He accepted. He was quick, and man it was great!”
“Dandelion” follows after the rapid success of Perez’s previous two singles, “Fuzzy Feeling” (with Benny Sings) and “2DK,” which are both infectious in their respective ways — showcasing his ever-evolving artistry and versatility as a musician. Together with the release of the new single, an accompanying music video directed by Matt Sav was also released, which features Perez goofing off and dancing around a dandelion field.

Together with its predecessors, “Dandelion” is set to be included in Perez’s upcoming debut studio album, Backflips in a Restaurant. “[It’s] a taste of what’s to come in my artistry,” he shared in an accompanying press release, stating, “I wanted to use this album to express who I am as an artist and a creator, what I have to offer in terms of differing genres in this case; flavour.”
“Growing up, I soaked up a lot of music from 70s soft rock, to 2000s R&B, bossa nova, indie, rap, etc. This music effectively influenced my music-making, and since my first release in 2021, I’ve been itching to explore and experiment with my sound. As a creative, I believe my job is to constantly explore and express myself, and with Backflips In A Restaurant, I’m taking the steps to do just that,” he continues.
The upcoming thirteen-track LP is scheduled to be released worldwide on March 28, 2025, and serves as a sonic playground of sorts for the celebrated indie-pop musician. Check out the full released tracklist below:
