“You watch me break” - brooke | Review

Brooke's "you watch me break," produced by Zone Diem, is a synth-pop gem that pushes the boundaries of Gen-Z electronic music. This collaboration marks a strong entry into the electro-pop scene for 2024, blending Brooke's innovative vocal work with Zone Diem's masterful production.


The track's soundscape is a rich tapestry of chopped vocals, glistening harmonies, and piercing 808s, creating an atmosphere that's both dark and dreamy. Brooke's vocals, reminiscent of artists like 2hollis, Charli XCX, and Crystal Castles, float effortlessly over Zone Diem's intricate arpeggios, resulting in a truly immersive listening experience.


Lyrically, "you watch me break" delves into themes of self-actualization within relationships, serving as an anthem for Gen-Z's experiences with lust and limerence. The hook is particularly striking, likely to resonate with listeners as they navigate their own complex emotional landscapes.


This single not only showcases Brooke's growth as an artist following her three-year hiatus but also hints at the potential of her upcoming EP 'Away Today'. At just 20 years old, Brooke demonstrates a mature understanding of her craft, balancing her queer identity exploration with raw emotion and creative expression.


"you watch me break" is more than just a song; it's a mood piece for the introspective moments of BRAT fall, perfect for long commutes and late-night contemplations. As Brooke's return to the music scene, it sets a high bar and leaves listeners eager to hear more from this promising Brooklyn-based artist.
