Look out, Kendall Roy. You may have dabbled in the rap game, but Cousin Greg’s got some serious pipes on him.
Like many others who’ve been bored in quarantine, Succession star Nicholas Braun has been making some beautiful-ish music. On Wednesday, the 32-year-old actor dropped a music video for his coronavirus anthem, aptly titled “Antibodies,” and boy is it something.
Anyone who follows Braun on Instagram is likely familiar with “Antibodies,” as he’s been discussing the song idea with his followers since May 7. Braun shared the lyrics with Instagram and asked his musically talented followers to turn them into a song. Now, more than two months and many “Antibodies” fan renditions later, Braun released his own music video for the song.
In the video, which Rolling Stone reports was produced by Colin Brittain, a filtered Braun is seen singing, strumming a guitar, and wearing boots, jeans, a white tank top, a mask, scarf, beanie, and fingerless gloves. Extremely dramatic!
Braun goes on to comically sing his truly deranged lyrics, which include, “I want a girl whose blood’s got the stuff,” and “If you have the antibodies it’s pants off, pants off, pants off, pants off.”
The video is meant to be a mess, but to be honest, Braun doesn’t sound bad, and “Antibodies” is admittedly kind of a jam.
Braun partnered with PLUS1 to support those at high risk from the virus, so a portion of the proceeds from “Antibodies” and related merch will benefit Partners In Health and The COPE Program.
If you like Braun’s singing, you’re in luck. There might be more music from him in the future. The actor told Rolling Stone, “It’s always in the back of my head — making music. I’d love to perform, I’d love to tour. This is the first thing I’m officially putting out, but I love this song.”
As Cousin Greg would say, “If it is to be sung, so it be, so it is.”
