broox Shares 2-Track EP ‘Over Easy’

Digging into the resonance of emotional melodies, synth-wave sensation and rhythmic movements, broox’s Over Easy is a feel-good listen stacked with soft, atmospheric beats, sultry R&B vocals, and intimate lyricism. Over Easy shows an evolution in broox’s artistry since her 2018 debut Out / Through, which she attributes to a newfound confidence in her more R&B-leaning sound. “I was very present while making this EP,” she says, “which I think is why it’s some of my best stuff yet. I was trying to channel my inner-self and creativity within this area in music I haven’t touched before. It was challenging but also exciting and made me curious to see what I can make of this.”

Keith Mosfet – “Where Love Will Grow”

““Where Love Will Grow” was inspired in part by a song I wrote around five years ago. I’ve rewritten this tune a few times for different bands, but it just never worked out. I decided to give it a shot on my forthcoming solo album, Superficial Hypocrite, and I feel it really came through the way I had always wanted it to.”

The lead single ‘Speed Of Anything’ unleashes a more pop-country-influenced side to their sound; a high-energy, infectious love story of “kids living down the street just waiting to meet” whose romance fires up years later. Having written with the likes of Liz McClarnon, Twinnie and Charlie Worsham over the years, the new music showcases their songwriting prowess with a mixture of genres and influences – an exciting statement of intent for the next chapter of their career.
