My new album is coming next week! I’m as excited and scared about this release as I ever have been. Sometimes it feels fuckin wild to have emotions this big about the sonic version of some drawings I did that in another life would have gone up on the fridge. But here we are! ❤️🌱🎧 #musicsky #ukmusic

B of Briz – her hair curly and messy and dirty blonde. She’s wearing a black velvet facemask covering her nose and mouth and ski-style goggles, ornately decorated in jewels and black ferns. Wearing all black, except for the gold flashes in her shoelaces and embroidered jacket. She stands in front of a shadow of her mask.

I'm so excited that the first preview/ review of my album (coming 6th Oct) is here! @meansmagazine.bsky.social have OK'd me to share this screenshot, but please consider supporting Means Magazine... a true celebration of arts /culture beyond the mainstream! meansmag.bandcamp.com/merch/means-... ❤️🌱🎧

Returning for their second album, B of Briz continue their mission to unpick the ills of modernity one rap at a
time. I don’t want to say ‘this is the sort of thing that is usually quite shit’ but I just have. The fact is, knocking
out ropey, two-dimensional lyrics is commonplace (and probably deeply unhelpful) - B of Briz, however, succeeds
by actually writing good lyrics, marrying social critiques with a level of self-analysis that wonderfully paints the
position of a struggling politically-minded artist trying to navigate the sharp-end of late-stage capitalism. There
is a playfulness at work that frames political critique as more than performative - accordions and squelching
synths provide a knowing irony that supports the lyrical flow, providing a depth and reason to the anger that
underpins the words on offer. The result is a weirdly grounded stream of consciousness that drifts between the
external and the internal, teasing on-the-nose declarations with abstract language, trip-hop breaks with emotive
pianos and vaguely hauntological synths. There is a certain repetition, structurally at least, a to and fro that
enables the lyrics to take the spotlight. Despite this, each track reveals layers of colours and timbres - not quite
verses and choruses but more subtly changes of mood and instrumentation that mirrors the emotional intelligence
of the lyrics. Tracks like ‘Dear Antifa’ ruminates on the process of signing up to an organisation that doesn’t
really exist (in a structural sense), managing to laugh at the vagueness and intangibility of the left even as it
celebrates it. This is the great thing about B of Briz - its super critical of the dominant socio-economic systems,
but mediates such critique through the lived, and occasional contradictory, experience of actually living in the
world it berates. Such complexity, rather than compromising the message, serves to amplify its necessity.

In ‘Not that deep’ (out now!), I explore what it means that we’re here every day in the living remnants of a morally bankrupt and discredited ideology – we on the Left have to welcome everyone in solidarity who is reorienting themselves away from it (even imperfectly) #musicsky #alternativehiphop

My new single 'Shadow Play' will be here v soon - the tracks are ‘Shadow Play’ + ‘Not that Deep’ - both dedicated, in their own ways, to saying a big FU to the people who tell you you’re overthinking it (not in a conspiracy-bollocks way)/ ❤️🎧 #musicsky #emergingartist #alternativehiphop #womeninmusic

B sits leaning forwards in a chair, elbows resting on knees. She's wearing a black sequined jumpsuit, almost invisible in the gloom. Her velvet overcoat gleams. Her hair is messy, curly, falls over her shoulders. Her face is covered by a black velvet facemask on the lower half, and ornately decorated ski-style goggles, all ferns, and silver adornments, and patterned spraypainted lenses.

Thinking about my track 'Avarice' (from my latest single 'Song so good').... bofbriz.bandcamp.com/track/avarice I love how accusatory this is! Writing it in the third person was supposed to be evocative of our complicity in a system which depends on human misery. #musicsky #newmusic #antifascism

We can look to billionaires as an evil (and we should, and they are, and they deserve to have the eye of justice on them), but they’re also an expression of a deeper rot, one we’re so used to, we’re, like, nose blind to it, or something…. #musicsky

“Here’s the thing, you can’t change us like that, we’re messy and that’s just a fact, I know that can be an uncomfortable truth to sit with, but sit with it you must, Cos there’s no way away from the truth without losing trust, So take a seat, let’s talk, let’s pour a drink, let’s eat” #musicsky

Still chatting about my new song 'Song so Good' hoping some more people can hear it! I love the physicality of the piano against the inescapably electronic-ness of the 808 in this song. L did the piano and melody for this and I was blown away by how dynamic and beautiful it is (she is amazing).
