After graduation, they dedicated themselves to ‘Urban Count’ full time, releasing their first EP in 2017, which received critical acclaim, setting their journey into the music world in full swing.

Title:
“Concrete Jungle Serenade”

Full Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Am F
Underneath the city lights, I found my home,
C G
Among the beats and the city’s unknown.
Am F
Along the alleyways where shadows dance,
C G
In the heart of the concrete, I took my chance.

Chorus:
Am F
In this concrete jungle, we found our serenade,
C G
A symphony of dreams, where love and life are made.
Am F
Our voices echo through the streets, where we belong,
C G
In this concrete jungle, we sing our song.

Verse 2:
Am F
Graffiti tales on the walls, the city’s art,
C G
Each hue and stroke, a piece of our heart.
Am F
The skyline’s silhouette, a stenciled sight,
C G
In this urban maze, we found our light.

(Repeat Chorus)

Favorite Fan’s Name:

“Urban Count’s music speaks to me on a deeply personal level. As someone who grew up in the heart of the city, their lyrics feel like a love letter to urban life. Their music explores the complexity and richness of city life with such authenticity and rawness. It’s as if they’ve put into words the very essence of what it means to love, live, and grow in a city. Their songs are the soundtrack to my life. That’s why Urban Count is my favorite band.”
