Brittany Bindrim, the acclaimed electronic pop artist and composer, is stepping into a bold new era of her career by releasing her highly anticipated debut album, Velella Velella, which dropped on March 8, 2024. Known for her captivating melodies and powerhouse vocals as the frontwoman of the band I, Brittany is now exploring uncharted sonic territories as a solo artist. Her new work features a compelling blend of hard-hitting beats and harsh synthesizers, creating a soundscape that ranges from moody, ethereal ballads to gritty dance anthems. This album is a testament to her artistic versatility and evolution.
Collaborating with producer Matt McJunkins, whose impressive resume includes work with A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Eagles of Death Metal, and Poppy, Brittany has crafted a collection of tracks that push the boundaries of electronic pop music. Velella Velella is not just a musical endeavor but an exploration of deeper themes. The album channels transformation, the sociopolitical climate, and a journey into the darker aspects of human nature. Through her raw and unapologetic lyrics, Brittany delves into themes of self-discovery, empathy, apathy, disillusionment, and personal growth.
Her debut single from the album, “Obelisk,” released with a striking music video on December 8, 2023, sets the tone for what listeners can expect from Velella Velella. “Obelisk” is a powerful and edgy track that showcases Brittany’s newfound sonic direction, characterized by its punishing beats and abrasive synthesizers. The song’s lyrics confront themes of tribalism, political divides, and collective trauma, ultimately advocating for peace and unity. It’s a bold statement and a fitting introduction to her solo work.
With her debut album, fans of her work with I and new listeners alike are eagerly excited for this new chapter in her career. With Velella Velella, Brittany is not only solidifying her place in the electronic pop landscape but also pushing the genre’s boundaries, offering a fresh and compelling perspective that is both vulnerable and fearless.
