Adam Janos and Mr. Sassy & the Backup Plans turn the tables with their new single, "I Try. "It's a daring, theatrical marvel packed with heartbreak, hilarity, and good old-fashioned brotherhood. A sumptuous slice of dark cabaret, this song springs not just from its sound but also from its story.
Inspired by a heartbreak that is, if anything, too brief to qualify as such, "I Try" is evidence that the most lung-squeezing music can come from the most fleeting interaction between humans. Adam Janos, processing the emotional aftershocks of a kitchen run-in with a former flame, was not just pining but spiraling. And from that whirlwind, a band rose.
A young, dumb, heartache beer talk between roommates in the early morning quickly escalated into a musical vow. Disgusted yet inspired, Raimundo agreed to form a band with one major stipulation that it had to be a party band. If Adam would grieve, he'd grieve in glitter, glam, and a good beat. And so "I Try" was hatched not as a lament but as a cathartic, banger-stuffed celebration of pain, resilience, and performing through the ache.
This is no ordinary breakup ballad. It's a party anthem with a whiff of theatrical gloom, laced with wit and irony. Adam and Mr. Sassy & the Backup Plans have a new breed of genre-defying energy that sets them apart, part cabaret chaos, part emotional veracity. "I Try" isn't just a song. It's proof, yet again, that you can make people dance even when your heart is breaking. And no one sounds like this.
