FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 2020, SINGAPORE – brb. releases their debut EP relationsh*t via Umami Records today and it is some good sh*t. This fast rising indie-r&b trio from Singapore already have 2 tracks with more than a million streams on Spotify, and an ardent fan base not only at home but even in countries like Thailand and Japan.
Their fan-created Thai subtitled lyric videos already have more than a million views on YouTube and their recent collaboration with Japanese producer duo AmPm and singer-songwriter Chocoholic ‘Sorry That I Love You’ just passed 250,000 streams on Spotify after 3 months.
Their music is shamelessly relatable, and clearly knows no cultural or language barriers. I urge you to take a listen to understand why.
relationsh*t showcases the trio’s thriving repertoire of songs about the highs and heartbreaks of romance, unravelling the ambiguous and timeless motif of love into its progression from thrilling ambivalence to inevitable submission and/or extinction. The release highlights include ‘do me right’ and ‘better’, two new tracks that uphold and surpass the band’s platinum standard. The band in particular picks out ‘do me right’, as “a snapshot of the distinctive pain of the discovery process of a partner’s unfaithfulness, one that is its own kind and can never be derived from anything else”. The tracks echo brb.’s distinct brand of funk-pop electronica, distilling different musical varieties into their very own uniquely refined embodiment of R&B that has bewitched young fans everywhere since their debut just over a year ago.
The result is intoxicating. Infectiously groovy and shamelessly relatable, listeners will be inclined to abuse that replay button, inevitably turning to the poignant lyricism for a virtual friend each time they bid romance adieu again.
