Anton Puris storms onto the scene with his latest single, โDeadly Samba,โ a riotous fusion of Brazilian rhythms and bluesy, classic rock grit. Released on June 6, 2025, the New York-based artist channels influences from samba, festival drumming, and the unmistakable swagger of Carlos Santana into a thrilling concoction.
The song kicks off with rolling drums that quickly launch into a groove led by crunchy, distorted guitars and Purisโ charismatic vocals. His voice winds through the verses engagingly and carefreely, and by the time the chorus hits with its chant-like repetition and unconventional 6-bar form, โDeadly Sambaโ becomes a musical standoff drenched in drama. The lyrics conjure scenes of betrayal and vengeance, as he sings, โYou have crossed all the red lines / Deadly Samba,โ invoking the tension of a turf war disguised as a dance.
As the track barrels toward its finale, Purisโ voice thickens with gnarl and venom, and the instrumentation grows more urgent, dreamy pre-choruses, a tight tom-groove bridge, and a final dark whisper riding out the blaze of sound.
True to form, Puris doesnโt stop at audio. The AI-generated music video pairs the track with a vibrant Brazilian festival scene with feathered costumes, glittering dancers, and drumlines, before pulling a surreal twist as the revelers morph into dancing skeletons. Itโs haunting, playful, and somehow deeply fitting. With promises of more releases ahead, this bold opener suggests heโs only just getting started.
