Singer-songwriter brei is the newest addition to the ever-growing roster of recording artists under Universal Records. Coming from a family of musicians, brei has been participating in singing competitions ever since she was a young girl, including Idol Philippines back in 2022. And while she did not end up winning the title, that didn’t stop her from pursuing a music career.
brei was signed by Universal Records last year and now she is finally releasing her first-ever single, “Eh Di Pasensya Na,” a pop-rock song loaded with so much feels. It captures the feeling of indifference following a difficult breakup, with lyrics reflecting on the transition from a once beautiful relationship to one filled with regrets: “Kung di ka makalimot, di ko na kasalanan, di sumasagi alaala mo sa’king isipan.”
“Eh Di Pasensya Na” draws heavy inspiration from the artist’s relationship with her ex-partner, as well as the personal experiences of people close to her. Ultimately, the song speaks to anyone who has struggled with a bitter past. “Para talaga ‘to sa mga tao na akala nila okay na both sides pero sobrang dami pa palang sinasabi ng ex nila.” she explains.
To promote her debut single, brei will be releasing a visualizer on Valentine’s Day and will also be going live regularly on her TikTok account, which has over 220,000 followers. Brei is pretty popular on the platform, with several of her videos getting millions of views.
With a catchy song for her debut single, a unique voice, and a quirky sense of style, brei is surely someone to look out for this year.
