In this emotional pop anthem, Brooke Taylor's single "I Hate Hating You" drags any listener into the depths of whiplash and turmoil. Drawing on themes of resentment from a prior relationship, Brooke conveys the pain and dissonance that accompany feelings of heartbreak. With a chorus playing on sarcasm and sincerity that will hit you where it hurts, Brooke leaves the lingering sentiment with her lyrics. Through her relatability, her lyrics are sharp and honest. While catchy and enjoyable, the ballad does not lack introspection and intensity.
Brooke's talented voice carries across the mellow but catchy flow of the single, allowing for a balance of hurt, sadness, and anger. The essence of this song does not need to be shocking or loud to convey the importance and depth of emotion: Brooke's voice, along with the production value, takes listeners on a journey with those elements alone. There is no need to draw into clamarous hysterics when Brooke's voice simply projects everything she feels. A talent that even some popular artists still cannot touch, "I Hate Hating You" is unmistakably made with heart and passion.
As a California Native, Brooke Taylor has manifested her musical passions at the University of Southern California's prestigious music program. With her talents leading her to both New York City and Los Angeles, Brooke continues to learn and collaborate with various artists across her platform. Drawing inspiration from Maroon 5, Madonna, and Kelly Clarkson, Brooke Taylor defines herself through her "unique blend of contagious melodies and introspective lyrics." Brooke is a rising artist to keep on your radar as she ascends into her spot in the pop scene.
