Cooper Phillip links up with Durand Bernarr for slick R&B gem “The Answers”

With the powerhouse vocalists teaming up for a sensational offering, the pair’s exquisite, remarkable vocal harmonizing and dynamic chemistry on “The Answers” is brought to life through breath-taking desert landscapes, with Cooper and Durand soaking up the scenery while charismatically serving looks and slick choreography.

Explaining that the track is about “the perils of external validation and how in moments of weakness we should look inward for the answers to life's most important questions,” Cooper is joined on the track by the critically acclaimed Durand fresh from his debut NPR ‘Tiny Desk’ concert. The eclectic performer brings a new level of allure and charm to Cooper’s magic, with Cooper joining a star-studded list of Durand’s collaborators including Erykah Badu, The Internet, Anderson. Paak, Ari Lennox, Kaytranada and Teedra Moses.

With a skyscraping voice and unapologetic hustle and attitude, Cooper Phillip asserts herself as a bold, blunt, and boundary-breaking force – “The Answers” is the latest release from the classically trained, Russian-born and Los Angeles-based musician, following a string of singles like “Party by Myself” (1.6M streams), “Not Perfect” (561K streams) and 2022’s funk-pop offering “Masterpiece” which has since surpassed 450K views for the music video (watch)
