If you know anything about the stars and planets, you know about Pluto. Pluto used to be in the elite planets that are granted into our solar system. He used to live the celebrity life, highlighted with the other planets, until he was knocked down to dwarf status, leaving the solar system with its current eight planets. Andelyn Bree’s newest single “pluto’s luck” cleverly compares her luck in love to Pluto’s luck as a planet. They used to be going strong and steady, until she was bumped out of orbit and into heartbreak. Bree uses a folk-indie twang to tell her story, and the lyrics she sings perfectly encapsulate the feelings of confusion and discouragement.
The soundscape of this track is a mix between the spinning, face paced guitar twang and Bree’s soft ethereal voice. She opens the song in the first verse with her analogies of both luck and astronomy, referencing four leaf clovers and the stars aligning to create constellations, and how she never quite understood how they all fall perfectly into place. In the chorus, she sings, “We were perfect in all writing / And they told me there's no rush, in love / Guess I'm stuck with Pluto's Luck”. Bree demonstrates true lyrical talent in her bridge, where she sings two vocal parts on top of each other: new lyrics and her original chorus. Her goal was to have them spinning around each other, mimicking a planet’s orbit. Towards the end, they finally synch together, demonstrating the clarity that finally hits Bree as her brain stops spinning: she has been dismissed from this relationship just like Pluto was from the solar system.
At just 16 years old, Andelyn Bree already has two singles and over 1,000 monthly listeners. A folk- pop singer-songwriter based in Orange County, California, Bree was born with music in her veins. She began to sing and play the piano at her church at a young age, and since then has turned her musicality into her career. Her lyrics bring a light and perspective only a young girl can have, as she writes about her world around her. She sings about love, loss, and growing up, and takes inspiration from other female artists such as Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams, and Kacey Musgraves, while adding her own softness and unique vocal tone.
