I just find you on my fb page now I follow you on SoundCloud 🥰

Sweet poison

(Verse 1) Slow hands, tight grip, yeah, I know what you crave Red lips, black lace, got you lost in the game I don’t love, I don’t stay, I just take what I need Make you beg, make you break, then I watch you bleed
(Pre-Chorus) Oh, you love when I take control Sweet poison, heart so cold You pay the price just to sell your soul
(Chorus) Oh, it’s dirty, but you love this shit Got you lost in the dark while I ride that hit I bite down, keep you right on the line You love me so good, but you’ll never be mine Oh, it’s sinful, but I wear it so sweet Dripping gold while I drag you deep No matter what you do, you keep coming back Yeah, I’m too bad to break, and you love it like that
(Verse 2) Touch me soft, but I cut like a blade Tie your hands, watch you love how it fades Say my name, but it won’t make me stay I light the fire just to walk away
(Pre-Chorus) Oh, you love when I take control Sweet poison, heart so cold You pay the price just to sell your soul
(Chorus) Oh, it’s dirty, but you love this shit Got you lost in the dark while I ride that hit I bite down, keep you right on the line You love me so good, but you’ll never be mine Oh, it’s sinful, but I wear it so sweet Dripping gold while I drag you deep No matter what you do, you keep coming back Yeah, I’m too bad to break, and you love it like that
(Bridge) I whisper lies just to hear you moan Take your body, but I leave you alone Say you want me, say you need me But you’ll never fucking keep me
(Outro) Oh, it’s dirty, but I love this shit And I’ll keep coming back for another hit.

Shine Again

Text:
[Verse 1]
She danced in the glow of a borrowed light,
Living on crumbs from the edge of the night.
Famous by name, not by her own,
A shadow beside a man on a throne.

Flashes and whispers, a life on display,
But no one stayed when she slipped away.
A smile that hid what no one could fix,
Drowning alone in a glass full of tricks.

[Chorus]
Now she’s a last headline, fading fast,
A memory built not meant to last.
Two years on, no flowers remain,
Just silence echoing louder than fame.
She burned for the crowd, but they weren’t kind—
Now she’s a story they’ve left behind.

[Verse 2]
Rooms full of people, but no real friend,
Living a tale that had no end.
They called her wild, they called her weak,
But never asked what truth she’d speak.

Used and framed, just Z-list gold,
Her pain sold cheap, her soul turned cold.
A girl with dreams the world erased,
A bottle for comfort, a ghost to chase.

[Chorus]
Now she’s a last headline, fading fast,
A memory built not meant to last.
Two years on, no flowers remain,
Just silence echoing louder than fame.
She burned for the crowd, but they weren’t kind—
Now she’s a story they’ve left behind.

[Bridge]
There’s a cost to the camera’s cruel caress,
And she paid it all in loneliness.
Not a villain, not a saint—just lost,
In a world that trades truth for gloss.

[Outro]
So rest, forgotten girl of the light,
You fought your demons every night.
They took your voice, they took your name,
But you were more than sorrow and shame.

Last Headline

STRANGERS

STRANGERS (feat. TINI)

Burnin’ down 

(Verse 1) Hands down low, you pull me in tight, Drownin' in the smoke of a blood-red night, Your touch, a spark that sets me free, Crashin' like waves, takin’ over me.
(Pre-Chorus) Breathe me in, drag me deeper down, Rippin’ through my body like a hurricane sound, Every shiver, every sigh you steal, This ain’t a dream, it’s the realest feel.
(Chorus) Got a heatwave heartbeat, crashin' fast, No way out, babe, no lookin' back, Sweat-drunk kisses, bruised-up skin, Pull me closer, let the chaos spin. Got a heatwave heartbeat, no break, no rest, Lose myself with you pressed to my chest, Bite my lip, make me drown — Heatwave heartbeat, we're burnin' down.
(Verse 2) Rose gold whiskey on my tongue, You’re hummin’ dirty songs I ain't ever sung, Grippin’ my hips like you own my soul, Got me slippin’ under full control.
(Pre-Chorus) Breathe me in, drag me deeper down, Rippin’ through my body like a hurricane sound, Every shiver, every sigh you steal, This ain’t a dream, it’s the realest feel.
(Chorus) Got a heatwave heartbeat, crashin' fast, No way out, babe, no lookin' back, Sweat-drunk kisses, bruised-up skin, Pull me closer, let the chaos spin. Got a heatwave heartbeat, no break, no rest, Lose myself with you pressed to my chest, Bite my lip, make me drown — Heatwave heartbeat, we're burnin' down.
(Bridge) No mercy, no slowin' it down, Just a body rush, just the hunger sound, Take it higher till we’re beggin’ for air, Get drunk on touch, get lost out there.
(Chorus) Got a heatwave heartbeat, crashin' fast, No way out, babe, no lookin' back, Sweat-drunk kisses, bruised-up skin, Pull me closer, let the chaos spin. Got a heatwave heartbeat, no break, no rest, Lose myself with you pressed to my chest, Bite my lip, make me drown — Heatwave heartbeat, we're burnin' down.
(Outro) Ashes on the sheets, smoke on your breath, Whisper my name ‘til there’s nothin’ left, Shakin’ like thunder, skin to skin, Heatwave heartbeat — do it all again.

The heart break you feel when you go from lovers to strangers again

Strangers Again

The second studio album from The Mucking Fuppets 'Sock It 2 Ya' has been officially remastered

Love So Loud

This isn’t a breakup record. It’s a truth record. I’m Not Sorry I Found You is Paradigm’s most confessional body of work yet—crafted in real time, with no emotional edits. Every song traces the aftermath of connection: the parts that fractured, the pieces that still hold warmth, and the honest moments that never made it into the goodbye.

From the precision of Drive Past Me to the quiet devastation of She Knew Before I Did, Paradigm delivers a late-night soundtrack that doesn’t beg for closure—it builds something stronger in its place. The writing is sharp. The melodies don’t flinch. And the voice behind it all knows exactly what it’s saying.

You’re not here for background music. You’re here to feel something.
This is for you.

I Remember it Differently

James Bakian's soul-soothing melodies possess a beauty that the music industry has been missing.
Singing, songwriting and producing since the early age of 10 years old, James has grown up speaking the language of music. 
Now aged 21, the pop-soul artist is beginning to bloom; after much self-discovery and a real maturation of his sound. 
Captivating many with his bold, baritone vocals, James has amassed over a million followers across social media platforms, drawing audiences in the many millions with his striking covers that demonstrate a hard-hitting but romantic voice.
James writes raw and weighted pop songs with influences of soul and r&b surfacing through his vocal acrobatics. His music is heavily emotional and passionate, which is reflective of his personality. 
Aiming to bring the modern music-industry back to story-telling that is morally pure in essence, James intends to bring hope and joy into the hearts of everyone who listens to his songs.
