In her new record, the intrepid Briawna is more lucid than ever, and her songwriting navigates a plethora of themes. At times she’s somber and contemplative, as on “Die Again” and “Faded”. Then she’s playfully self-aware, and super-sexy on “Hoe Anthem”. “Issa Witches World” and “Python” brings her raw combative spirit to the table. The title track “Sorry Not Sorry” is a slow-burning, self-empowering anthem, while “Voicemails” delivers another deeply reflective rumination.

Packed with high-production standouts, in some ways the EP, “Sorry Not Sorry”, feels like a cathartic cleansing.  Beyond the superbly structured arrangements which fortifies Briawna’s nuanced vocals, the through-line of this soul-searching mix is the singer’s razor-sharp focus: her ability to dissect her own vulnerabilities and strengths with cutting, incisive songwriting – all whilst retaining ear-catching sensibilities.

There’s something mantric, almost self-affirming about the songs on “Sorry Not Sorry”. Moreover, there’s an emotional maturity that’s palpable across the entire record, as Briawna’s re-invigorates her sonic template with cutting edge lucidity. Expertly crafted, “Sorry Not Sorry” appears before you with its layers stacking neatly, jaunting at angles to create a cinematic vision of personal and intimate realizations and catharsis. The melding of beats, instrumentation and vocals congeal to form a silky smooth sonic palate.

The EP “Sorry Not Sorry” will be available on all digital stores on December 1st.
