Brynja Delivers First Full-Length Album “Repeat”


Brynja closed out the month of October with her first full-length album, “Repeat.” The thirteen-track album is chock-full of diverse sounds and topics. Brynja showcases her soothing, euphonious singing and her melodic, Lauryn Hill-esque rapping. “Repeat” encapsulates the various genres to a tee: Alternative, Hip-Hop/Rap, Indie, Pop, R&B/Soul, etc. The album has been in the works for four years, and as they say, can’t rush greatness. “Repeat” is evident of that as the album is immaculate from the beginning to the end.
“Repeat” features two lead singles, “Fight” and “My Oh My.” The first song on “Repeat,” “Fight,” has already seen its share of success as it was placed on the Netflix show, “Katla.” Following the first song, “Repeat” dives into real life topics and was bred from the issue of global warming. The songs’ titles cleverly disguise the synopses of the records, but they generally touch upon the circle of life, repetition of history, and emotions. “I took the train for an hour to SAE Institute in Amsterdam every morning, and I‘d listen to podcasts.” Bryjna continues: “There was this podcast that got me really hooked called, ‘Dissect,’ in which host Cole Cole Cuchna dissected iconic Rap and R&B albums. It taught me about the art of putting together an album thoughtfully. I thought people just wrote songs, and then bundled them together in an album. It had never occurred to me to think about it in the other order: first album, then songs. This podcast coupled with my obsession with global warming set me on the path to write this album thoughtfully.”
Brynja not only showcases her vocal prowess on “Repeat,” but her penmanship is to be commended as she fully wrote the entire album by herself, excluding “Be Alright,” which was co-written with Alexander Spoor, and “My Oh My,” which was co-written with Merle Verseef. Track six, “Breathe,” features Dutch singer-songwriter Care. To give Brynja even more flowers, she had a hand in the production of the album as well. Producer LUVR served as the primary producer of the album. Tom Rosen Jacobsen co-produced “Breathe” and “What Scares Me” alongside Brynja and LUVR. Brynja and Alexander Spoor produced, “Fight.” From “Fight” to “Aftur & Aftur,” Brynja takes you on a personal journey that all listeners can relate to and provides listeners with even the pickiest ears a new favorite song or songs. As the title of the album suggests, “Repeat” is meant to be listened to on repeat.

Fall in Love with Dmillyyy’s New EP “Cupid Pack”


Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.
Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.
The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
