“I couldn’t be happier with this one, I’m interested to see how people will take to this different direction and I can’t wait to play it live, I’ve always wanted a piano ballad,” says Cade. “I’m so excited for people to hear this song. It’s a very different sound for us, and I’m so proud of the way it turned out,” adds Bokenkamp.
“Open-hearted songwriting and energetic performance style are two of the defining features of The BRKN’s music” — American Songwriter.
“Lovers came together as a song out of left field; the shuffle, the tempo, the emotionally bare lyrics, nothing about this song really made sense for us as a band initially. Jacob wrote the vibey chords on an electric piano and Mike showcased his wild versatility on the drums giving “Lovers” a vintage feel while remaining upbeat. Once we started down the road of a more traditional sounding love song/lament type shuffle, there was no going back, and we pressed into it fully.” — Says Younkers
I’m Music Magazine says, “Their songs are sure to get stuck in your head and have you singing along…unruly energy with intense and resounding guitar riffs and lyrical subject matter with meaning.” The BRKN’s songs have racked up over 402k cumulative views and streams to date with the band currently wrapping up production on a new EP to be released in 2021.
