A tiny cartoon character with a curious personality and a world full of unexpected adventures takes centre stage on ‘Parlin Papito’ the first solo single from Berlin-based songwriter and artist Karlo Bromsen. Released on July 10, 2026. The playful indie-pop track introduces a hand-drawn character inspired by illustrations created by Bromsen’s son, Willi, bringing music, animation and imaginative storytelling to life.
Emerged from a corked bottle, Papito is a small but memorable character who loves bees and bumblebees. His adventures unfolds in a surreal world populated by family chaos, unusual villains and strange everyday encounters. Rather than following a conventional pop narrative, Bromsen uses the character to create a distinctive little universe filled with humour, curiosity and unexpected situations.
Musically, ‘Parlin Papito’ combines upbeat indie-pop energy with playful electronic elements and melodic songwriting. The result is a warm, quirky summer release that balances alternative pop sensibilities with an imaginative approach to storytelling. Its character-driven concept gives the track an identity that extends beyond the music itself.
The release marks a creative direction for Bromsen, who is known as the voice of the indietronic act Bromsen. With the solo outing, he introduces a project that connects his songwriting with the visual world inspired by his son’s drawings. An accompanying TikTok mini-series continued to develop Papito’s adventures, expanding the character’s universe one episode at a time.
With ‘Parlin Papito’ Karlo Bromsen offers more than a song. He also introduces a playful character and an evolving creative world where music, handmade animation and offbeat storytelling comes together.
