A Danceable And Smooth New Single from BRINI
A smooth and sultry new single from BRINI brings out a beautiful cross between pop, afrobeat, and R&B. She's really able to come through vocally with such a perfect attitude, amazing silky texture to her tone, and all boasting some amazing hooks that really pull you right into the track.
Not only is this track insanely danceable, but it brings together elements of color and edginess in a way that feels completely seamless and natural
The beat of it all brings some of those afrobeat elements, but the vocals are very R&B with loads of soul and impact, layers of harmonies and octaves being performed together giving it a little thickness, but still always has that smooth flow to it.
The track comes through with a vast undertone, so it feels very spacious and slightly ambient, mostly due to some of the reverb effects on the instrumentation and synth pads that bring that depth together.
Now, during the verses, you get the allure. She pulls you in with the tone of her voice and how she performs.
However, the hook is massive. That chorus sort of bounces around in your brain for hours after it ends, and it's one of my favorite things about it.
Although the song gives you some cultural flair, those afrobeat elements, and a unique time signature reminiscent of something almost like samba, she holds tightly onto that pop sensibility, so that you have a track that feels radio-friendly and flavorful.
There are other keys throughout the track that give the song a little bit of shimmer, and the whole production is absolutely perfect.
This is a type of song that works amazingly for the club, or heavy-hitting R&B radio stations out there.
The song is called "The Way I Move", and it digs into dance and movement, but also touches on how one might move through life.
It is very hard not to dance to this song. The rhythm of it makes you want to move almost right away.
BRINI is an amazing dancer, and this song is like an ode to that passion.
I love an artist who's able to combine different passions and put them together. Of course, music and dance go hand in hand, but for someone to write a song about the art of dance is brilliant.
One of the coolest facts about this track is that the song came to her during a. Around this time last year, the artist challenged herself to write a new song every day from her home studio.
I can only imagine the other idea she came up with and how many of those will end up coming to full fruition as well.
One of the things that the song makes me think about when I listen to it is how she incorporates this slew of influences into one track.
You can hear that cultural influence, dance under Tom, almost neo-soul texture and performance, and loads of the R&B overcoat.
This is definitely not a single you want to miss, and while you're at it you should absolutely check out some of her previous releases, including a few released earlier this year.
"Soft Love" was an absolutely brilliant track, taking you into other facets of her personality along with "Royal Treatment".
I would absolutely start with "The Way I Move", and as it's a great introduction to her music in general, but definitely dip into her back catalog because it's extremely worth it.
BRINI is clearly an artist who puts pieces of herself into her music in different ways, is unafraid, and pulls from her many different influences to create something unique, but familiar.
Check the stuff out now, and you'll hear exactly what I'm talking about.
