Brandyn burnette biography of michael

Last month I was introduced to Brandyn Burnette’s music via his pensive single “Karma,” which already has 20k plays on Soundcloud alone. He categorizes his music as neo-soul, but to my ears “Karma” was sheer electro-pop bliss. In any case, I had to hear more after that taste and was lucky enough to get an advance listen to his forthcoming EP, State I’m In, which is loaded with eight delicious sweets. Even the interlude is fantastic. His songs thrum with contagious energy and are layered with glorious harmonies and hypnotic textures, walking the fine line between music you can dance to and music that’s ripe for chilling out. His songs are also a perfect mix of electronic beats and live instruments. I suppose you could say they’re all purpose. In a very good way.  So, whatever you’re in the mood for, chances are his music will appeal to you. Give it a listen and get to know him in our interview below.

MM: This is Mike from Love is Pop calling to do your interview.

BB: Hey, how’s it going?

MM: I saw on Soundcloud that it said State I’m In II. Is it in fact a second volume?

BB: It’s not really a second volume but more so my second body of work. The first one, Made of Dreams, was released in November and this one is like the follow up.

MM: When they gave me the private Soundcloud version of State I’m In to listen to they told me it might not be done yet, that you were still making changes. Have you made any changes since last week?

BB: Yeah. So, for the last we

I first saw Brandyn Burnette live at The Hotel Cafe when he and Molly Moore performed together as Cosmos and Creatures. Since then, I’ve been anticipating his new EP and although I’m a bit late, I finally got to drown myself in it.

He opens the EP with the very honest and tender “Underneath”, but brings us something darker and enticing with his second track “Worship”. Smooth R&B vocals and tantalizing lyrics such as: “Are you coming over? / Can I worship you tonight? / Don’t care if you sober / Swear I can get you high” will you pull you in like a magnetic field.

There are two standout tracks and “Closer”, a collaboration with John Lock, is one of them. “Come a little closer, babe. / Send your cosmic lovin’ my way…” fills your headspace with a deep reverberant beat topped with Burnette’s dreamy falsetto that lead “Closer” into an electronic ecstasy.

The title track, “State I’m In” is who he is: a progressive soul. It ties everything great about him into this one song. If you wanted to know who Brandyn Burnette was, this would be the song to tell you.

Brandyn Burnette seems to be the future. He not only changes the game, but he challenges it. When he starts touring, you won’t want to miss it because I’m sure these songs will be taken to the next level. You can grab his EP off of iTunes or stream it on Spotify or Apple Music.
