The Artist: Brenna Erickson

 “One Hundred” by Brenna Erickson

The musician Brenna Erickson, based in Jacksonville, has surprised us with an electronic-pop song called “One Hundred”. The arrangement of the sounds and the instrumentation, combined with the vocals, is more than well done. 
Especially the synth parts are well placed in the arrangement. And, as we know, it is produced by herself. We have to say: look out, here comes Brenna; look out, one hundred per cent Erickson.
