My freshly released single It’s Okay is a part of my EP called Brave New Persona which will be released song by song over the course of the next couple of months.
Generally, at the center of the EP “Brave New Persona” is a determined, successful woman who is in the middle of life and who enjoys her popularity and beauty. The higher the reputation and the financial means, the more desirable the lifestyle seems. The protagonist soon finds out that this shiny world is in reality very empty and lonely, but she comes to the conclusion that quitting would lead to more struggle, so she tries to connect with people on the level of basic needs. Short-term love affairs appear to be a suitable solution.
The title is a cross-reference to Aldous Huxley's work "Brave New World" to denounce the fact that this ideal, which is not limited to female-identifying individuals, goes hand in hand with the idea that more consumption = more happiness. While the EP is written and produced in a light, joyful and self-contained way, it holds the undercurrent of feeling isolated and lonely.
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did while creating it.
Much love,
~ Sara
