BRYDE TO BE BRAVE

Bryde has shared a new single in the shape of 'To Be Brave'. The new track is taken from her freshly-announced debut album Like An Island, due 13 April via her own label Seahorse Music, which aims to promote music made by women in the continually male dominated industry. It is a typically haunting slice of "post-grunge melancholia" as Bryde explains, "'To Be Brave' was written as kind of a soft squeeze of the hand to many friends who have, like me, been through many a dark period and put on a brave face and just got on with it. It’s a comment about how we all live out certain episodes of our lives in such a public setting these days that I feel we almost edit them to appear flawless, nothing but smiles." The track also comes alongside news of extensive UK tour dates. -G.O'B
