August Brodie Releases His New Single "Playing For Keeps"
August Brodie is a Canadian solo artist with a modern sound that blends pop-punk, hip-hop, and alt-rock styles to create unique emotion-filled anthems. Touching on themes about relationships, love and loss, and coming of age, August’s lyrical content and melodic approach creates a nostalgic yet refreshing soundscape for the listener.
Originally starting out as a hip-hop artist, August developed a talent for wordplay and flow that helped him quickly gain traction in the music scene. August has since transcended his sound to embrace inspirations of 2000’s emo and pop-punk styles, while still keeping his hip-hop influenced edge and lyricism.
August has just released his new single “Playing For Keeps”, an alternative pop/rock song that depicts the stage at the end of a volatile relationship when it becomes too toxic to maintain. "I've had relationships where it gets to the point where both sides become vindictive towards each other by trying to make the other love them even if they can't do so themselves, and all so that they can come out on top" shares August. "To me it's just such a dark and twisted thing to do to someone who you once loved, to have it become a competition for the remainder of each other's heart in the end, but it happens. With lyrics like 'I need your love - even though I won't love again', the song tries to capture that emotional conflict."
