Equally at home playing solo or with her band Brooke Law is always ready to rock and it is this side of her that gets aired on her latest single "Villain". It's a Jack Trouble production and he does a great job capturing the clipped guitar sound on the verses before letting things rock free on the chorus.
This is a definitive parting of the ways song, it tells of someone hurt once too often and pushed to and beyond breaking point. and severely mistreated.
"You shot me down too many times
And I let it pass me by, losing my mind
Yes i did mind
You played around and kept fooling out
Where were you last night and in the morning
When I was calling?"
The chorus is no time for sitting around moping, it is a sassy reinvigoration that sees Brooke rise like a phoenix from the flames, vowing not to return to old ways and instead finding herself emboldened by what she has been through.
"I'm done with the Villain - farewell and good riddance
I've given you my years, you've stolen all my tears
I'm done with the Villain, now I see no limits
I've got a thicker skin, I'm free from all your sins"
The chorus finishes with a primeval celebratory elongated rocking "Heyheyhey"
With the blinkers off Brooke is free to see how badly she was treated
"It's all a blur, how you tangled words
How you got your way, How'd I miss it?
How you were twisted"
Set for a summertime of tearing up festivals across the nation and armed with a powerful clutch of new songs from the last time we saw her and some classic ones she still has up her sleeve - 2025 is looking to be a great year for Brooke Law. It is also surely the year when #TEAMw21 succeed in pushing "Home" to be the Nations Christmas Number One - we can but try!!
