Lack of response and regard. It’s something many of us have, unfortunately at some point, experienced. Whether it was with a friend or a romantic partner who suddenly left without any sort of explanation or consideration for a reply, it’s something that leaves us hurt and mostly bewildered– confused as to why this person abruptly decided to cut off any sort of contact. It is particularly heartbreaking when this person served as a source of comfort. A person you once leaned on during moments of turmoil. A person who once brought you immense buoyancy and solace. At a moment like this, it’s easy to get lost in the what-ifs. It’s also imperative that we utilize this opportunity to empower ourselves and remind ourselves that for whatever reason this person had for leaving was completely out of their own plight. “No Contact” by Bruklin is a song that represents a similar situation in the form of an empowering anthem. It tells the story of heartache and yearning, where one wishes for contact– unable to forget the memories shared. With lyrics like “I thought you had the heart to tell me first” that truly add vehement intensity to the sorrow we experience when this special person has unexpectedly decided we are no longer a priority to them.
Despite the lyrics being so immensely heavy, the melody carries a lighthearted and lively tune. Almost as if it’s supposed to uplift its listeners despite the story the emotive lyrics convey. Which, can serve as a purpose to the listeners, it’s a song that we can not only relate to what it’s singing about, but it is also one where we use it as a source of empowerment– it won’t keep us desolate in our unfortunate loss, but will encourage us to seek out emotional strength. Bruklin’s talents are undeniable as her euphonious voice acts as an additional instrument to the song. Her voice perfumes the song with the added emphasis it requires to truly get the message across to her listeners– to get her listeners to feel the hurtful sentiments of a no-contact situation. As someone who has experienced such a thing, it’s almost a feeling of betrayal we feel when this person, whom we were once so close to, suddenly leaves without a second thought to explain their incentives. Almost like getting the rug pulled right out from under us– we are left flummoxed beyond words at their incredulous behavior
The talented artist behind such a beautifully crafted song goes by the name Bruklin who mostly resonates with genres akin to pop music. Bruklin was born in April of 2008, originally from New Jersey. This passion for entertainment began at the very young age of 11 years old when she made appearances on television shows! Her vocalist career took off at the age of 12 when she performed a cover version of the song “Belieiver” by Imagine Dragons. Now at the age of 16, Bruklin continues to explore her innate talents of artistry for music and singing, releasing songs titled “Stay Freinds” “Magic Show” and the song “No Contact”. Being so young and already showcasing her artistic talents in her music. She only seems to continue to evolve as she grows as a person and artist. Bruklin wishes to make music that resonates with people's hearts, to tell stories that words alone are unable to do. As Bruklin continues to expedite and hone her skills, I look forward to hearing more from her!
