As an artist, BRIM draws inspiration from a diverse array of musicians, ranging from the energetic pop-punk melodies of Fall Out Boy to the soulful introspection of Counting Crows and the catchy hooks of Maroon 5. However, it’s the contemporary artists like UPSAHL, PVRIS, and spill tab who currently resonate with her and keep the creative fire burning.
Taking a page from the Taylor Swift playbook, BRIM has always found solace in crafting lyrics that delve into her personal experiences, translating them into engaging stories through her music. But as she matured both as an artist and an individual, she realized the power of stepping away from being the sole focus of her compositions. Instead, she explores the comedic aspects of life’s rollercoaster, employing a touch of sardonic humor to maintain her sanity in a world that often appears nonsensical.

Through poignant lyrics and emotive melodies, “GOD COMPLEX” becomes an anthem of self-empowerment, a battle cry against the forces that seek to diminish one’s spirit. BRIM lays bare her vulnerabilities and insecurities, acknowledging the struggles she has faced in a world that can feel overwhelming and unfair. The song serves as a reminder that it’s okay to embrace vulnerability while finding the courage to stand tall amidst life’s adversities. BRIM’s journey, as reflected in “GOD COMPLEX,” exemplifies the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity to find humor and lightness, even when life seems absurd and challenging.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
As life still imitates art, I continue to sort out the most interesting thoughts from my internal monologue, the worst things I have the potential to be, and all of the ways I’ve learned how to self-sabotage, and I put them into songs. The past is dead and gone (if you can even believe it), leaving us with the most spiteful and egotistical version of me yet (if you can even believe it).
In a sense, it’s a dedication to the artist I originally wanted to be, and to the kid that imagined it. Not for the trauma or the drama or the failed friendships or the misery, as I’ve been inclined to write about in the past. It’s vindication, mostly, but it’s also smiling while flipping you off. It’s not taking itself too seriously, but it’s also genuinely poetic in a way I haven’t been able to articulate before. I’ve been songwriting for over ten years now. I still see remnants of my old writing style in this album – “Swallow,” and, “Any Way You Want Me,” in particular – but it’s polished and refined. It’s also pop genius, but you didn’t hear that from me.
The album, much like who I’m becoming, is absurd and real. Even given the BS I had to work with, I really managed to not only make it out alive, but make it out as the coolest bitch I know. There’s no telling for certain, but this might be the last time I have to start over. The real difference this time is that when I say I know myself, I really mean it. And I like who I am. That’s just a bonus.
