The keen reader will gladly remember Los Angeles-based songstress Brinck from a feature we published not long ago, praising ‘Snakes’ as “oscillating between dream-pop and indie, with hints of retro psychedelia”. We stand by our words: the rising American creative enjoys laidback yet wholesome aural pieces, covering a crepuscular territory that’s hard to resist. ‘Figure It Out’ moves in the same direction, although with a more kinetic and grounded imprint.
Leaving spacious guitar tones behind, Brinck finds an elegant and minimalist refuge in soulful and groovy lands, a vibrant and immersive sonic landscape that creates a functional contrast with the American singer’s charming and quaint vocals. ‘Figure It Out’ is quite a refreshing record, in that it’s not directly related to any major trend or popular formula, instead pursuing its own peculiar, highly likeable path.
In true Brinck style, ‘Figure It Out’ oozes with evocative lyricism and introspective imagery, delving deep into the fragrant unravelling of a relationship. Focusing on accountability and the heavy weight of emotional reckoning, the single feels malleable and relatable, never quite surrendering to melancholia or sadness, instead embracing a fiercer, playful take on the whole theme. As we are told, the song “is about being pushed past the point of patience, caught in the chaos of lies, blame-shifting, and emotional deflection while trying to make sense of it all.”
