Bryony Williams‘ latest release, Trip Me Up, is a radiant gem in the indie pop realm. With nods to revered artists like Marika Hackman and Courtney Barnett, Williams showcases a clear evolution since her introspective 2020 EP, State I’m In. As a queer artist, she adeptly navigates life’s intricacies, crafting a sonic mosaic that transcends genre confines. Trip Me Up seamlessly blends nostalgia with contemporary allure, beckoning listeners into a whimsical realm where storytelling reigns supreme. With its shimmering melodies and heartfelt sincerity, this track cements Williams’ status as a burgeoning force in the indie pop universe.
Speaking of Trip Me Up, Bryony says, “Originally written back in 2017 whilst watching the cult classic, The Virgin Suicides, on repeat to analyse for my film studies class on my media degree, with this song, I began writing a response to the storyline and themes entangled in the narrative of the film. This response, admittedly, was only the first verse and chorus, and only did the song find its final lyrics in the recording process of the album in 2022.
At the core of Trip Me Up, I essentially wanted to revisit typical old school, prom-like romance we get from films made in the 90s, but with a modern twist. The narrative throughout the track though is through a female lens and shows the frustrations and complications that young love encounters (or at least like it is in the movies) whilst on a journey of reclaiming a sense of self and power in this storyline.”
