Rising star Brooke Combe returns with powerful new single 'Praise'
“Scottish indie star-in-waiting already mingling with the greats” - NME
“A future megastar” - The Guardian
Following the release of her debut mixtape Black Is The New Gold earlier this year, which has been shortlisted at the Scottish Album Of The Year Awards, one of 2023’s breakout stars Brooke Combe returns with her euphoric new single ‘Praise’. The track is the first to be taken from her forthcoming 2024 debut LP. Listen to ‘Praise’ HERE & watch a stunning live acoustic version HERE.
Produced by The Coral’s James Skelly and Jaidan Millar at the brand new Kempton Street Studios in Liverpool, ‘Praise’ is an empowering call to arms. Drenched in soul, the gospel influenced track still sees Brooke planted in her indie rock roots with her fierce vocal cutting deep as she takes back authority on this guitar driven anthem.
"’Praise’ is about a few things. It touches on female empowerment and taking back control over my future,” Brooke said of the track. “I found myself in a situation where I started to feel almost like a puppet. Like I was being shaped into something I wasn’t and that just isn’t really who I am. I feel like it’s an all too familiar scenario, women in today's society feeling pressured to toe the line. So here we are, demanding the praise and respect we deserve."
Following triumphant shows at Glastonbury, TRNSMT and Neighbourhood Festivals, Brooke heads out on a run of her biggest UK headline dates this November, including a show at London’s Dingwalls on November 30th. Tickets are on-sale HERE.
