Music has a mysterious way of finding its path to those who are meant to embrace it. For Laura Brizuela, a talented artist hailing from Lemgo, Bielefeld, music wasn’t a career she initially pursued; it was music that pursued her. Born to Paraguayan parents, Brizuela’s journey into the world of music began at the tender age of eight when her teacher selected her to play Mary and sing a solo in a Christmas musical. It was on that stage, in front of an audience of 2000 people, that Brizuela had an epiphany – “THAT’s what I was born for!” Throughout her adolescence, music continued to follow her, but it wasn’t until she embarked on a soul-searching journey at a Bible college in California that she made the life-altering decision to focus on singing and songwriting in 2019. Two years later, she crossed paths with her producer, Mateo Diaz, and even married him. Together, they embarked on a musical journey that has since gained recognition from Clout and Speed On The Beat for Brizuela’s soulful R&B-pop hybrid sound. And in December 2022, she took a significant step in her career by signing with Embassy of Music. Now, in 2023, Laura Brizuela is making waves in the music industry with her newest single, “EMOJI,” which was released on August 11th via Embassy of Music. This pop-trap anthem is not just another love song; it’s a powerful commentary on the superficiality of modern dating. Brizuela’s signature blend of R&B, trap, and K-Pop influences, reminiscent of artists like Alina Smith and Kep1er, sets the stage for her compelling storytelling and remarkable vocal performance. “EMOJI” takes a swipe at the dating culture of our times, where materialism and ego often overshadow genuine connections. “Get me fancy food and some overpriced drink / Take me on a date, buy the world just for me / Send some cute a** text and some cute emoji.” These lyrics, while straightforward, reflect the frustration many people feel in today’s dating world, where appearances and materialistic gestures often take precedence over emotional depth and connection. Brizuela drew inspiration from her own experiences and those of her girlfriends, who shared stories of dating that felt hollow and devoid of substance. “EMOJI” wasn’t an easy creation for Brizuela. She admits that it was a song with a painful process, having to record it five times in different pitches and BPMs. The journey to creating this song was filled with moments of love and hate, as she continuously tweaked and rewrote it. However, the persistence and dedication paid off, and she found herself at peace with the song, feeling that it now carries more story and meaning than ever before. In “EMOJI,” Laura Brizuela has not only crafted a catchy and vibrant track but has also delivered a powerful message about the pitfalls of superficial dating in the modern age. Her ability to infuse her personal experiences and emotions into her music demonstrates her authenticity as an artist, and it’s a quality that undoubtedly resonates with her growing fanbase. As we continue to witness the rise of this emerging talent, it’s clear that Laura Brizuela’s music will continue to be a refreshing voice in an industry often dominated by shallowness. With “EMOJI,” she has not only swiped left on superficial dating but has also swiped her way into our hearts with her soulful melodies and relatable lyrics. Laura Brizuela didn’t choose music – music chose her, and we’re all the better for it.
