If you’ve been craving an album that blends nostalgia, romance, and a touch of genre-bending magic, Grentperez’s debut full-length album Backflips in a Restaurant delivers just that. The Australian singer-songwriter—who first captured hearts with his viral hit Cherry Wine—has taken his signature dreamy sound and expanded it into his most adventurous and cohesive project yet.
Released via Fast Friends and AWAL, Backflips in a Restaurant is a melodic playground, featuring a mix of R&B, indie-folk, pop-punk, symphonic pop, and ‘70s soft rock—a testament to grentperez’s evolution from bedroom-pop sensation to full-fledged artist. Fans will recognize his signature warmth on tracks like Fuzzy Feeling and Dandelion (featuring Ruel), but the album also pushes boundaries, showcasing deeper textures and a wider emotional range.
To celebrate the release, grentperez surprised fans with a brand-new music video for Need You Around, the album’s fifth single. But the excitement doesn’t stop there—following the announcement of his Backflips in a Restaurant North American tour, he’s now bringing his biggest headline shows yet to the UK and Europe. With newly added stops in Dublin, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, and a huge show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on September 20, 2025, grentperez is proving his ability to command global stages.
The 23-year-old has come a long way since posting his first YouTube video at just 12 years old. With over 500 million streams, a gold-certified single, and tours supporting the likes of Laufey, Rex Orange County, and Wallows, he’s officially stepped into the spotlight as one of today’s most exciting rising artists. His ability to blend lighthearted charm with deeply resonant storytelling has won him a loyal fanbase and critical acclaim from outlets like Rolling Stone, Billboard, NME, MTV, and Teen Vogue.
Fresh off his Emerging Songwriter of the Year win at the 2024 APRA Awards, grentperez is proving that he’s far more than just a viral sensation—he’s an artist with staying power. And with Backflips in a Restaurant, he’s inviting listeners into his world, one heartfelt melody at a time.
