Britton – “To My Younger Self”
“To My Younger Self” is an anthem for the inner you. The emotions in the verses escalate as quickly as the lyrical swing of Britton’s vocals. The hook is an oncoming storm. Then the melody mellows out, the keys ring as clearly as windchimes, and the windswept sonics will get you nodding your head along to the beat. This is a pretty song that’s made more alluring by its bittersweetness and its relentless knock. Go ahead and open up, Britton.
