As we move into the gloominess of winter, the warm thoughts of summer continue to linger in our minds, and certain songs that evoke the warmest season will always be welcomed. Luckily, the uber-talented singer/songwriter Leona Berlin comes through in the clutch with "BRIGHTER DAY." The 90s R&B/hip-hop love ballad captures the warmth of the sun and the breezy afternoon with a touch of nostalgia. The production is easy-flowing, relaxing, and groovy all at once, from the rich keys, the punchy hip-hop drum break, and Berlin's sultry vocals, earworm melodies, and expressive raps, audiences are flung into the abyss of reflection. Here, Berlin talks about losing touch with reality and slowly slipping into the pit of madness with lines like " Blank stare, hollow gaze into emptiness/So aware of the state of this emptiness/Numb void, no feeling, no thought here/Expectation of an odd fear," and wraps it on a positive note reminding listeners to always look forward to a brighter day.
The song also comes with a visual that captures Leona Berlin in her element as she takes time to look deep within.
"BRIGHTER DAY" is part of the lead-up to her highly anticipated album scheduled for spring 2025.
