Bangkok-born, Sheffield-based artist Pran is quickly emerging as a fresh voice in global pop. At just 21, the singer, songwriter, and producer—born Jessada Malakul—has released his debut single “All I Need Is Love,” a track that captures both heartbreak and healing in a way that feels deeply personal yet universally relatable.
Pran’s journey with music began on his iPad, where he experimented with sounds and melodies before shaping them into a polished electropop cut infused with R&B sensibilities. What started as a personal experiment grew into something bigger when Grammy-nominated engineers Brent Kolatalo and Elliot James Mulhern stepped in to refine the production. The result is a sleek, midnight-ready track layered with emotion and glossy soundscapes.
Lyrically, “All I Need Is Love” explores the two sides of longing—seeking love externally and realizing the power of self-love. Pran admits that the song was inspired by a period of reflection following a breakup, where he moved from questioning why the world couldn’t provide him with love to understanding that fulfillment could come from within. It’s a narrative of growth that resonates with anyone who has had to rebuild after loss.
The music video adds another dimension to the story. With moody, cinematic tones, it contrasts hollow luxury with light-filled renewal, symbolizing the transition from emptiness to empowerment. The imagery of an apple representing the heart underscores the song’s central message: love, while often fragile, can also be a source of resilience.
With “All I Need Is Love,” Pran is ready to connect across cultures and borders. It’s a bold introduction, but one that suggests his story is only just beginning.
