We had the pleasure of interviewing Brooke Annibale over Zoom video.

Indie singer/songwriter Brooke Annibale released new album Better By Now through Nettwerk Music Group. A fearless new collection of songs, Brooke has both emboldened her sound on Better By Now as well as entered a new phase of life after making significant strides in her mental-health journey and saying \u201cI do\u201d to her wife.

\u201cI wrote this song in early January 2021,\u201d stated Brooke. \u201cWe had literally just put the christmas tree out on the curb, and I felt this terrible sentimental feeling for it. This was also the same week as the Capitol attack. We had pushed through 2020, looking at 2021 as some kind of savior, but once it arrived nothing really changed. There was still the same intensely hostile political discourse and the pandemic continued raging on. It felt like things were getting worse somehow, when I hoped for it to be better by now. Reflecting on that time, it taught me that expecting a perfect external outcome will not lead to feeling better. I\u2019ve got to do the internal work to have any kind of peace with the roller coaster of life.\u201d

Produced by Christian \u201cLeggy\u201d Langdon (Joseph, Amos Lee) and Matthew E White (Natalie Prass, Dan Croll), Better By Now features 10 blossoming indie-pop tracks that Brooke describes as a \u201cspectrum of emotions.\u201d In her trademark layered approach, the Pittsburgh-born, Rhode Island-based artist reflects on love, anxiety, depression, and how two seemingly opposing forces can exist at once. \u201cThe album is basically half about falling in love and half about mental health.\u201d

Earlier this summer, Brooke teased a couple songs from her new album, including the \u201cimmediately catchy\u201d (FLOOD) lead single \u201cWhat If You\u201d and the \u201csoaring, ethereal pop song\u201d (Brooklyn Vegan) \u201c5 AM\u201d accompanied by the Gen\xe9a Gaudet-directed video. In celebration of Pride Month, Brooke also shared an inspiring op-ed via Atwood Magazine on representation, equality, authentic connection, and her journey to self-acceptance. Brooke's expressive and beautifully thoughtful songwriting creates a dreamy and enticing sonic landscape.
