Review: "Don't Get Me Wrong" - Brosie

Brosie's new single "Don't Get Me Wrong" is an inspection of grief. Written during the aftermath of losing her grandmother suddenly, Brosie begins the song communicating directly with her grandmother telling her, "I had a dream you were back from the dead." The ballad is pop-heavy and filled with emotion. She notices how the loss of her grandmother only highlights her presence further such as in the line "Cause every corner in my room
 has got your signature tattooed." Reflecting on her relationship and the last conversation they shared, the singer can't help but wonder what would be different if someone could choose how and when they die. But, don't get her wrong, she continues, "it's way too soon to say goodbye."

singing against a bold blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation, Brosie's vocals carry the weight of the song. She displays her vulnerability, divulging the intimacy of the relationship she shared with her grandmother. Brosie's lyricism indicates to listeners the lingering presence of someone who has passed on and the internal questions that arise as part of journeying through grief. The existential elements of the song come through when the singer asks, "Is that what you would have wanted 
if you could choose your destiny?" This catchy indie pop tune rejects traditional lyrical elements of the genre by diving into the complicated, messy, nonlinear process of grieving.

Dropping her first single "Coulda Shoulda Woulda Enthusiast" on March 1st, 2024, the Austrian artist has quickly gained traction for her versatile and candid pop songs. Having garnered over 8,000 monthly Spotify listeners after only a year of putting out music, Brosie is paving the way for an even brighter future in music. She has played festivals such as the Reeperbahn festival in Germany and opened for several artists on tour including Biig Piig. Brosie's frank lyrics and catapulting vocals connect with listeners who may be experiencing similar struggles. Brosie is an artist to watch, already making waves in the pop genre.
