Brii Elliss Features Chill Rhythms and Fresh Love in New EP ‘All-In’: Listen

Brii Elliss is a little more rhythm than blues in her most recent project, the six-song EP “All-in.” Released on November 17, 2023, the EP deals with themes of dating, young relationships, and the euphoria of embracing one’s fall into true love for a welcome change of pace.

The first track, “Now I Got U,” is a chill, melodic meditation that leans into a satisfying rhythm and gives Brii’s voice and lyrics plenty of room to take center stage. Never one to overcompensate with too many sounds or hard singing, Brii’s voice is casually enthralling in this track. Her vocal strength comes through without overpowering the conversational feel of the track. It’s a song that calls for a wine pairing or something sweet and hard on the rocks.

The six tracks for “All-In” were created during the early days of a new, long-term relationship in Brii’s life. She channeled the bliss of the honeymoon period into her art, and the results are unique both in the R&B space and in general love songs. “The honeymoon phase is such an exciting stage of a relationship,” Brii wrote in a press release, “And it doesn’t last forever, so I really wanted to capture the essence of that.”

The second track, “Follow,” captures this excitement, introducing the fresh joy of new promises to the EP. This song is a little bouncier, sure to put a contented smile on the listener’s face. Happiness infuses its melody, a rare and honest hope many listeners want to relate to. The tender vulnerability of the track follows it, “Perfect 4 Me,” the playfulness of “Midas,” the celebration of “Get Enough,” and the wonder of “Never Know.”

It’s a palette of emotions from a short, beautiful part of life that will affect listeners differently. It will feel nostalgic, whether for the past or for an imagined future that is yet to come. Brii’s EP can serve as a time capsule for this part of life, preserving faded emotions or offering new feelings. For any listener on the Pop R&B wavelength that Brii channels, the dynamic vibe of the album will be impossible to miss.

Brii is a young artist, new on the scene, and charged with the power that can only come from youth. Her music is already gaining a reputation for its storytelling quality, and a concept-driven EP like this will only push that reputation further. The passion she brings to the recording studio is palpable in each track, a quality that cannot be invented or imitated by any studio, along with her naturally silky voice and elegant lyrics. There’s an authentic talent at work in this EP, with each song building on the last to create a deftly conceived work of beauty.

Any R&B fan who has ever been in love or hopes to find love is likely to find a particular resonance with “All-In” and the dynamic music of Brii Elliss.
