Melting together elements of dream pop and bedroom pop to create a sound all his own, London-based songwriter Philip Brooks is one to keep an eye on. Debuting his new single “Spend Some Time Alone Inside My Head” today, Brooks introduces a sonically enjoyable tune that showcases relatable songwriting and low-key vibes that will please all who take a listen.
The 21-year old lyricist is slowly gaining a reputation for creating nostalgic and emotionally-charged songs that deal with mental health and young romance, “Spend Some Time Alone Inside My Head” being no exception. Masked as a dreamy atmospheric tune made to transcend all who listen into a wave of nostalgic memories, the single itself emerged from a darker place inside Brooks’ mind. With lyrics like “maybe now I should just run away, I don’t know if I can face another day of this life in a dream half asleep,” Brooks is reflecting on trying to find a solution for overcoming the negative, and sometimes hopeless, feelings that can arise while struggling with mental health, something so many of us deal with on a daily basis.
Creating the entire song himself, the multi-instrumentalist managed to produce a song listeners will be able to dance along to while also relating to on a deep-rooted level, showcasing the multidimensional music Brooks is capable of constructing.
Finding the perfect balance between infectious dream pop beats and hauntingly perfect vocals, Philip Brooks has welcomed listeners into his own personal dreamscape with “Spend Some Time Alone Inside My Head,” giving them a taste of the vulnerability and authenticity that is present in everything he creates.
