The track is from the artist’s upcoming highly-awaited new EP When Everything Went Dark.
Boasting one of the most colossal and instantly recognisable vocal styles in modern music, anything that Bishop Briggs releases feels all the more emphatic and memorable just for her being on it, elevating her already stellar songwriting to something that feels transcendent and all-conquering.
The latest release from the artist is ‘Baggage’, a track where the multi-platinum singer-songwriter utilises her powerful voice to articulate a confessional narrative where she celebrates her imperfections and just how messy she can be. The result is a track that feels as powerful as it does resonating for listeners, showcasing a more human side of an artist who is often revered for her immense talents and charm. Everything here from the quirky instrumental to the artist’s signature sense of personality and appeal feels incredible throughout, and continues to highlight why the artist is one of the best to do it.
“I am not perfect. In fact, I’m quite messy.” Bishop Briggs says of the track. “I could say life is messy, which it is, but part of becoming an adult has been acknowledging the messiness that I have too. “Baggage” is the first song where I stand in the mud and triumphantly stomp my feet in it. I can only hope that others feel empowered to own their version of messy and know that they aren’t alone in it. I have found that when I unabashedly show my imperfections and my wounds I am growing. So, there you have it, that’s my baggage.”
