  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth.

‘Good Cry’ by Bruklin

‘Good Cry’ by Bruklin

‘Stay Friends’ and "Magic Show" have already surpassed the impressive mark of one million streams on Spotify alone. Now Bruklin presents her latest work, which once again demonstrates her great potential. 
‘Good Cry’ by Bruklin
The track ‘Good Cry’ impresses with its first-class production and the visual brilliance of the accompanying video. In terms of content, the song addresses deep emotional pain and the challenge of expressing these feelings, as well as the suppression of emotions and the resulting inner turmoil that affects sleep and appetite.
With ‘Good Cry’, she wants to emphasize the importance of facing your emotions and not suppressing them. Everyone experiences moments when they feel emotionally overwhelmed and feel that everything is becoming too much. It's perfectly okay to take time out for a ‘good cry’ as this can be incredibly liberating and healing.
Musically, she continues on her path, delivering perfectly orchestrated pop that meets R&B elements and can already be compared to the greats in the industry. 
It remains to be seen how long she will continue to fall into the indie category, but until then, let's enjoy perfect pop à la Bruklin!
