Belgian singer-songwriter BREEO is only 19, yet she's got the kind of voice that transcends time, and in her latest single, "HUNGER," she's not just singing but taking names. Against a moody, alt-pop/rock soundscape, HUNGER doesn't care to play nice. And in a world where young women too often hear that they should be small, BREEO chooses to make a noise. With HUNGER, BREEO has made one thing clear: she's not here to play nice but here to create memorable art.
"HUNGER " is a fierce, emotionally naked song that opens a dialogue that is frequently gently discussed but rarely loudly shouted from the rooftops: The toxic societal urge to mold women to shrink themselves. BREEO doesn't pussyfoot around the problem. Unblinkingly, she illuminates how starvation can masquerade as a discipline and how fear of change can become its addiction. The production grabs you from the first chord and is dark and atmospheric, with a pulse that mimics the frantic rhythm of obsession. But it's the voice that takes the song to another place, equal parts defiance and fragility, strength and ache. You don't just hear her pain but feel it wrenching in your chest.
"HUNGER" is unflinching. Lines such as Where else will you get your hunger from? Land like a punch, and they hit listeners right in their inner dialogues, as well as the cultural lies we all have internalized. It's not just BREEO's unapologetic storytelling that sets her apart but her talent for blending truth into melody without forfeiting artistry. "Hunger" is both raw and expertly crafted. The song, a potent mix of alternative rock edge and pop accessibility, is something of a cry for help and a call to arms.
