A Big Year For Brittany

2022 has already been a massive year for Brittany Elise.

She took the crown at the Gympie Music Muster’s NAB Talent Search, was a grand finalist in the prestigious Toyota Star Maker competition and awarded Most Popular New Female Artist of the Year at the ICMA Awards.

The Mackay-born and raised singer-songwriter is still touring the nation off the back of her scorching single, ‘Feel The Fire’ and has just released her latest single ‘Like Me That Way’ ahead of the release of her new album Just Be, out October 21.

‘Like Me That Way’ springs to life with sunny acoustic guitars, while Brittany’s vocal commands centre stage.

She sings an empowered tune of self-love - “I like the way I am / This is who I am / I like me that way”.

Written alongside Lyn Bowtell, the song is Brittany’s take on a breakup anthem.

“(It’s) a reminder to never change who you are as a person especially if others are telling you to,” she said.

“I took influence from two powerful artists and songs - Kasey Chambers ‘Am I Not Pretty Enough’ and Missy Higgins ‘Scar’.”

Brittany collaborated with her producer, Liam Quinn, remotely.

“These vocals were recorded in my Queensland homebuilt studio and the rest produced in Sydney,” she said.

The result is an uplifting blend of country musicality layered with pop hooks – a sound fans have come to love from Brittany Elise.

Brittany’s inspiring messages, set to an equally upbeat soundtrack, have proven to be a much-loved recipe.

With each release, she gains more listeners, drawn to the honesty and relatability of her words.

‘Like Me That Way’ is yet another excellent offering from an artist who is proud to share her story.

Brittany is also about to kick off a tour of Australia, playing in Mackay in February next year.
