21 year old singer-songwriter Brooke Bentham blasts her ex on striking new single "Heavy and Ephemeral".
Born and raised in South Shields, now studying in London, Brooke Bentham soars into 2017 with the impressive "Heavy and Empheral", a formidable transformation from early singles "We'll Be Ghosts" and "Oliver".
The new single, produced by Ben Baptie (Aquilo, Låpsley), places Bentham in a more alternative-rock world than the cinematic singer-songwriter-scape she'd exisited in before. Drawing comparisons to Angel Olsen and Sharon Van Etten, Bentham also has a sound of American singer-songwriter Margaret Glapsy's folk-tinged emotion-fuelled record.
"Heavy and Ephemeral" is out now.
