You know when you meet someone, and they’re just…magic?

I can recall the first time I ever met Bre, and looking back, she is and will always be magic.

This is why it’s no surprise to me that her single debuts over the last couple of years have perfectly encapsulated that exact feeling.

Call me bias, but stick with me here.

I’ve had the privilege of watching Breanna grow in her artistry, albeit, from a distance since our long gone days of work and play in St. Augustine, FL. The earliest I can recall is her quaint little studio, and her on the ukulele. And since those times (some odd 13-14 years ago) Breanna has emerged as an absolute siren in the music world. Taking to world-renowned festivals such as SXSW, as well as booking and headlining her own shows and tours across the world.

I say all this to lead to one of Breanna’s more recent releases ‘New Moon’ (released 2021) which I believe perfectly encapsulates Bre as the musical talent, and smooth singing siren she is.

In ‘New Moon’ we are immediately met by a glorious arrangement of vocals. Instantly resonating as tender, soft and contemplative. The instrumentals in this piece hang a little further back giving way to the dreamy vocals as you slowly begin to drift with the music.

There’s a jazzy touch to this track, and at the same time feels like coming up for fresh air in the 1970’s. And while I’m not 100% sure what that means, it's certainly a good feeling as you listen.

As ‘New Moon’ progresses, it keeps its tone and rhythm. It remains melodic and lofty with a swift and lovely drift. One could maybe call it, a lullaby for love perhaps? Seductive and sweet.

All in all, this is one of my favorite singles Breanna Barbara has released so far. Every new release just gets better and better with Breanna. Her light and magic continue to shine through in this single. It gives that “driving down the highway on a cool night with the windows down” type feeling. And who doesn’t love that?

Give Breanna Barbara’s ‘New Moon’ a full listen on available streaming services such as Spotify. And also be sure to check out her Instagram @breannabarbara for the latest in music, tour, and all the other cool things she's doing.
