James Laurent Channels Raw Emotion and Pop-Punk Energy in Electrifying New Single 'Dangerous Love'

Multi-hyphenate artist, producer, and engineer James Laurent charges straight into the turbulence of desire with his explosive new single, “Dangerous Love.” Equal parts pop-punk adrenaline and pop precision, the track is a tight, high-voltage burst of emotion that showcases Laurent’s rare ability to marry grit with gloss and make it feel effortless.

Created entirely overnight in his bedroom studio, “Dangerous Love” captures the dizzying extremes of infatuation. It’s the kind of love that feels like a freefall: euphoric, reckless, transformative, and teetering on the edge of collapse. Driving guitars slam forward with urgency, punchy drums snap with clarity, and Laurent’s stacked harmonies cut through the mix with sharp, melodic conviction. The result is a track that feels like chaos held together by sheer will, polished but never sanitised.

“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… people, myself included, will keep searching for it, no matter how much it hurt the last time.” This emotional duality lies at the heart of the single, destructive and divine all at once.

But “Dangerous Love” isn’t just an expressive release; it’s another milestone in Laurent’s evolution as a fiercely self-sufficient creator. Known for his technical mastery and genre-fluid sensibility, he draws on influences that range from Broadway theatricality to the intensity of Russian metal. Every element, every vocal layer, mix decision, and textural shift was crafted by Laurent himself, making the track a showcase of both his engineering prowess and his intuitive artistry.

With an RIAA Gold certification and a growing list of high-profile credits, Laurent continues to occupy a rare space where technical precision and raw emotion co-exist seamlessly. “Dangerous Love” embodies that balance, a volatile, heart-pounding anthem built from both discipline and instinct.

Serving as the second single from his upcoming body of work, the track offers a glimpse into the sonic world Laurent is constructing: high-energy, boundary-pushing, and unapologetically human. If “Dangerous Love” is any indication, Laurent’s next chapter won’t just blur genres, it’ll break them open.
