SG-based rnb trio brb releases new album "relationsh*t"

03/16/2020 10:48:30 PM



brb, a known 3-man r&b act from Singapore, has recently released their debut album relationsh*t via indie label Umami Records. 


The debut album encapsulates the evocative reflections and textures of a prolific young band rapidly establishing themselves in the r&b scene. Aside from the previously-released singles ‘cool with it’ and ‘talking to myself’ – which already garnered more than a million streams on Spotify – this 7-track EP also has two previously unreleased tracks, ‘do me right’ and ‘better.’

All in all, relationsh*t showcases brb's thriving repertoire of songs about the highs and heartbreaks of romance, unraveling the ambiguous and timeless motif of love into its progression from thrilling ambivalence to inevitable submission and/or extinction. 

The release showcases the two new tracks that uphold and surpass the band’s platinum standard. The SG-based r&b trio, in particular, picks out ‘do me right’, as “a snapshot of the distinctive pain of the discovery process of a partner’s unfaithfulness, one that is its own kind and can never be derived from anything else”. The tracks echo brb.’s distinct brand of funk-pop electronica, distilling different musical varieties into their very own uniquely refined embodiment of R&B that has bewitched young fans everywhere since their debut just over a year ago. 

The result is intoxicating. Infectiously groovy and shamelessly relatable, listeners will be inclined to abuse that replay button, inevitably turning to the poignant lyricism for a virtual friend each time they bid romance adieu again.
