Chartbreaker: Balu Brigada Are Burning Up With Breakout Radio Hit ‘So Cold’
Balu Brigada's 'So Cold' has become the alt-pop duo's breakthrough hit on the charts and at radio. Meet Billboard's April 2025 Chartbreaker.
When they relocated to New York in 2023, Pierre and Henry Beasley of alt-pop duo Balu Brigada certainly didn’t expect they’d end up sounding like a Big Apple band from 20 years earlier. It is one of those more aggressive, tense and gritty songs that has taken Balu Brigada from a cult act trying to find its major-label footing stateside — the brothers signed to both Warner Music Australasia and Atlantic Records simultaneously in 2022 — to chart-topping radio hitmakers. That inspired him to dig deeper into the band’s streaming catalog — which includes a steady run of singles dating back to 2016, along with 2019’s Almost Feel Good Mixtape and EPs I Should Be Home(2021) and Find a Way(2013).
