15 Minutes With Music Producer Colin Brittain

Hi Colin! How are you? How have you been able to continue working during the pandemic?

Glad to talk to you guys!  Things have been good for me (very thankful). Artists have obviously had a lot of time on their hands over the past year- which has been good and bad.  But for creating music, I can honestly say that things have never been busier for me and my crew.

What’s the project you are the proudest of in your music career?

I feel like this is a cop out- but it’s the truth-  I can’t say one project is my favorite.  Some of the most memorable and grateful experiences I’ve had though have been with Papa Roach, All Time Low, One Ok Rock, and A Day to Remember.

What are you currently working on?

Tons of stuff- a few of the most recent I’ve been working with are Sueco, Papa Roach, Fever 333, Parson James, and my band American Teeth.

Did you participate in any online concerts or music-related events?

I’ve checked out a few of them-  Code Orange and Underoath were incredible shows, as well as Post Malone.

Out of all the genres you have been involved in, which one is the closest to your heart?

I’m a punk rock kid at heart- so anything that’s angsty and aggressive I tend to really have a soft spot for.  The best part about music is that you can genuinely love so many kinds and it doesn’t take away the love from another.

Which of your various activities gives you the highest fulfillment?

Probably production-  there’s something about taking a great song and bringing it to its full potential.  It’s like telling a story with sound- I’ve always been drawn to that artform.

Is there an artist that you would love working with (someone you haven’t collaborated with already)?

I would love to write with the Band Camino sometime- I think they are absolutely phenomenal.

“Duplicity” by Freya Magee debuts a stunningly introspective anthem with split honesty

Freya Magee

With origins spanning from Northern Ireland to Melbourne, singer-songwriter Freya Magee, now based in London, is sure to emerge as a prominent music artist in the indie folk scene with her debut single, “Duplicity.” She asserts herself in the limelight with a charming voice that’s both featherlight and resolutely bold. Her debut single serves as a nuanced exploration of spoken storm, characterized by an emotionally charged and elegantly restrained vocal delivery that is achingly relatable.

Duplicity” elicits the feeling of a whispered confession cloaked in darkness, evoking an intimate, cinematic quality that is both urgent and contemplative. Magee’s vocal performance strikes an effective equilibrium between fragility and assertiveness, navigating a melancholic soundscape that producer Phil Taylor meticulously crafted at Laurel Sound Studios. The composition’s understated brilliance lies in its capacity to invite listeners to engage closely, as though they are privy to a private inner dialogue.

Lyrically, Magee explores the complexities of identity conflict with poetic precision, articulating the ache of aspiring to be everything, everywhere, encompassing various facets of existence simultaneously. One moment, she sounds sure of herself, projecting confidence; the next, she reveals a gentle struggle with indecision and uncertainty. The notable line, “dark on the left…, blonde on the right,” is more than clever imagery; it’s a visual metaphor for the emotional dichotomy she sings about. This duality is visually represented in the single’s cover art, aligning aesthetic and thematic elements into a cohesive portrait of self-contradiction.

The most noteworthy aspect of “Duplicity” is its authenticity. There is no posturing here, just a young artist sitting with her contradictions, thereby encouraging audiences to do the same. For enthusiasts who appreciate the introspective intimacy found within the works of artists such as Phoebe Bridgers, Gracie Abrams, Laura Marling, or the early compositions of Joni Mitchell, Magee’s sound seamlessly fits right into the lineage of musicians who find strength in vulnerability.

As a debut offering, “Duplicity” exudes a sense of quiet triumph, providing a compelling introduction to an emerging talent poised to share a sonic chronicle of beautiful contradictions in her forthcoming debut EP. If this represents Freya Magee’s initial foray into the spotlight, anticipation builds regarding her future contributions when she fully embraces her artistic presence.
