Brooks Brown and J Ingram are Back With Colorful New Groove, "Soho"
/
Kansas born producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer Brooks Brown has independently released a new single, “Soho” with J Ingram.
“Soho,” is a wavy electro-pop anthem comprised of mellow melodies and electronic synths. J Ingram leads with dreamy, rich vocals that layer the diaphanous and light-hearted production cooked up by Brooks Brown. Regarding the concept of the track, the urban hotspot of "Soho" is used as a metaphor for chasing euphoria, but realizing that the hedonistic highs of the moment are not everlasting.
About the song, Brooks Brown tells us:
“The song is about finding yourself in a routine that isn’t true to who you are and in places that you probably shouldn’t be, but eventually embracing the unfamiliar feeling of an unpredictable life.”
Artist J Ingram is a fellow KC artist who has extensive history working with Brooks Brown. In early 2018, the two came out with a collaborative EP titled, “Surprise Party!” independently released.
Brooks Brown’s electronically infused indie-pop echoes the prominent alternative bands of our time. The single is Brooks Brown’s latest musical offering, coming off the heels of his 2018 independently released EP, “Fontana”. The EP is named after the street in which Brooks Brown grew up on in Overland City, Kansas. The project details the emotional highs and lows that come with settling down in a dramatically new environment, and the stress that distance puts on relationships.
When Brooks Brown was just eleven years old, his father passed away. Since then, music has become a crucial remedy for the hardships of his life. His own songs are expressions of specific burst of emotions experienced during moments of catharsis, such as, the loss of a loved one, heartbreak, long-distance relationships (both friends and significant others) as well as nostalgia for how things once were in Kansas City. The LA scene has motivated Brooks to become more collaborative in his work; he often shares the spotlight of his tracks with other vocalists, producers, songwriters and instrumentalists.
Most recently, Brooks Brown played to a 250 person audience at El Cid, a renowned indie venue in Silver Lake, CA. The event was co-hosted by publication AmplifyUSC and label 1st Gen on Thursday, September 12th of this year.
