Brutal Deluxe‘s remix of Tallulah Rendall’s I Am Enough transforms an already empowering song into a multi-dimensional, spiritual journey that speaks to the heart and soul. The original track was already deeply affirming, with its vulnerable, compassionate lyrics about self-love and acceptance, but this remix takes it a step further, expanding the song into a cosmic and transcendental soundscape. What was once a meditative folk anthem now reverberates with pulsating energy, layering cosmic risers and deep, bass-heavy beats that suggest a sonic exploration of the self and the universe. It is music that moves beyond the surface and into the deeper realms of existence.
The remix’s cosmic undertones are reflected not just in the music but also in the spiritual quality of Tallulah’s astral vocals. Her voice, already rich with warmth and intimacy, soars through the track, as if pulling listeners into another dimension. The track is an expansive experience, where the vocals glide gracefully over the complex electronic beats. There is a celestial quality to her singing, as though her words are descending from the stars, offering listeners guidance and reassurance. The deep bass layers and garage-influenced beats anchor the track while also allowing the vocals to shine – creating a contrast between the grounded and the ethereal, the physical and the spiritual.
The lyrics themselves are a testament to Tallulah’s belief in human resilience and worth. “Be brave courageous and step with love / Be vulnerable and awkward, I know it can be tough / But it’s time now to step into this river of life.” These words carry a powerful call to action, asking us to shed our defenses and embrace the unknown with love and openness. This concept is paired beautifully with the expansive soundscape in the remix, as the listener is invited to feel the vulnerability and bravery in the music itself. The cosmic quality of the remix underscores the message, suggesting that in opening ourselves to the flow of life, we align with a greater, universal rhythm.
The line, “We can barricade our hearts with all the armor that we grow / Hide away from the pain, but our hearts will never know / The beauty of life, that is wanting us to know and say to ourselves,” taps into a central theme of the track: the idea of breaking down the walls we build around ourselves to protect our hearts. Brutal Deluxe’s remix gives the illusion of these barriers dissolving with every beat, each drop of bass serving as a sonic dismantling of our emotional armour. The music encourages us to drop their defences and embrace the beauty of life, mirroring the lyrics’ call for vulnerability and openness.

“I am loved and I, I am enough just as I am / And you, you are loved, and you, you are enough just as you are,” is the affirmation that centers the entire song. This repetition of self-love and acceptance is transformed in the remix into an anthem of collective empowerment. The pulsating, dance-driven beat creates a sense of unity, inviting the listener to dance not just with their body but with their spirit. The track’s energy reinforces the message that we are all enough, just as we are. The powerful bassline and cosmic sound design amplify the sense of affirmation, as if the universe itself is echoing Tallulah’s message of self-worth and acceptance.
There is something transcendental about the way Brutal Deluxe has approached this remix. It transcends the limitations of traditional deep house, blending organic soundscapes with electronic elements to create a space where the physical and metaphysical coexist. It’s as if the music becomes a bridge between realms, a reminder that the sacred and the mundane are not separate but intertwined. The remix does not just ask us to dance – it invites us to connect, to expand, and to transcend.
This remix is ideal for an environment like Burning Man, where music is not just entertainment but a vehicle for transformation. The expansive energy of the remix, combined with Tallulah’s affirming vocals, would feel at home in the midst of an ecstatic, communal celebration. It taps into something primal within us, urging us to let go, to embrace the flow of life, and to feel the beauty of the present moment. It is a spiritual journey – an invitation to step into the river of life, to rise up again after stumbling, and to feel deeply connected to the heart of existence. This is music that doesn’t just move the body; it heals the soul.
