The song, which although recently released, has been racking up views and new fans across streaming platforms, is one of Duran’s best works yet.

Like many artists, Ricardo Duran takes inspiration from the everyday. What better subject to sing about than something you’ve been through first-hand?

In a way, we can break dysfunctional patterns by listening to music like “A Sucker for Sorrow”. By seeing that other people out there are going through the same suffering we’re stuck in, we allow ourselves to move forward. And that’s precisely what Duran sets out to do – entertain, but also inspire.
