In her first new music since 2021, indie-pop singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Bryony Williams is delightful and dreamy. Having taken inspiration from 90s cult classic film The Virgin Suicides, her latest single Trip Me Up is a blissful musing on an innocent prom-like love that is mouth-wateringly modern despite its classic inspiration and typical indie characteristics.
With a classic indie, Wet Leg-esque bassline and lighter than air vocals, Bryony brings a sense of whimsy to her cinematic style which already glistens thanks to the track’s lingering guitars, light percussion and hopeful, sincere soundscape.
There is an endearing vulnerability to both her lyrics and her vocals as the song navigates the frustrations of young love and locating self-acceptance and self-empowerment through a female lens, and the lyrical world she creates is perfectly in tune with the single’s soundscape. She gorgeously imitates that racing heartbeat and floating feeling of excitement that is typical of young love, whilst not leaning too heavily into that sickly sweet ‘I’m in love’ sound. It’s dream pop but with a heavy splash of sad-girl indie, which only further serves to establish Bryony as a medium for all who are lovesick.
Trip Me Up is out February 29th and is the first track from an upcoming release.
