Review
"Brent" by Jeremy Zucker and Chelsea Cutler feels like stumbling upon an old diary that perfectly captures your teen heartbreak. Released in 2019, this album's magic lies in its ability to blend alternative, soft-pop, and indie-folk into an emotional whirlwind that reflects the intense vulnerability we all secretly cling to. It's the musical equivalent of those late-night conversations where words flow effortlessly and every shared glance holds boundless meaning. The sincerity in their songwriting makes it feel like they're whispering stories directly from their hearts, making you nod along, whispering "me too."
The track "you were good to me" is that redemptive yet bittersweet anthem that echoes in your mind, especially when recollecting love's lessons and losses. The chemistry Zucker and Cutler share is undeniable; their voices wrap around each other with a natural harmony that suggests years of shared experiences. Listening to "brent" lays the groundwork for their future together, paving a golden road for the subsequent albums "brent ii" and "brent iii". It's soothing to know this creative partnership has only grown stronger, continually unfolding like a well-worn love letter. - Emma
