“Crying, kicking and screaming out of excitement. Here I present my debut self-titled EP,Tadéus. I have worked with amazing creatives to make this possible and I absolutely cannot wait for people to experience it,” expresses Tadéus.
The EP opens with “Fall For You,” an introspective introduction that sets the tone for the journey ahead. It establishes a sense of vulnerability and honesty that permeates throughout the entire project.

“All or Nuthin” delves into the complexities of relationships, exploring themes of reciprocity and validation. Tadéus confronts his fears and insecurities head-on, delivering raw and introspective lyrics of intimate resonance.

The EP concludes with lead single “Happy (Smile),” a joyous ode to finding happiness amidst life’s challenges.
