We previously featured Bradby Sings when they tapped into notions of nostalgia with the authentic and romantic single, Sing Out Loud, so when we heard that the duo was back with I Believe In Miracles, poignantly released on the full moon, we were curious to say the least, and couldn’t wait to immerse ourselves in their universe once more.

I Believe In Miracles opens with a jazz-infused, cinematic soundscape and the lyrics, “I believe in miracles, in fairy tales and oracles, not because I think they’re real, but for how they make me feel…”. Detailed with trumpets, and evoking imagery of a smoky jazz bar, the lyrics are inspiring and fantastical, a dose of escapism that we all need right now.

The production and mix are pristine – due in part to the technology used to create the track. We deeply connect with the journey that Bradby Sings are taking us on. Fans of Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of…) by Lou Bega will absolutely be able to connect with I Believe In Miracles, and we could also imagine it in a TV show like Euphoria on HBO, perhaps in a dream sequence where Rue imagines the possibilities of her life.

The middle eight taps into a more emotive energy as Bradby Sings share the words, “This fragile world can feel so cold…I need a dream to comfort me, let me build a different world, where I feel safe and in control…”

This feels so relatable and zeitgeist right now as we are faced with so much global turmoil and corruption; I Believe In Miracles is the antidote.

Speaking on the release, the duo says, “The song is about finding comfort in what might not be real…but who cares? I Believe In Miracles questions the line between truth and emotional survival. The song isn’t about literal belief, it’s about the human need to feel safe, hopeful, and reassured, even if that means embracing ideas we think might not be real.”

Bradby Sings are singer-songwriters Henna and Stiles, who are based in the UK. They are influenced by traditional British wry songwriters like Kirsty Maccoll, Arctic Monkeys, Elvis Costello and Lily Allen, and tell us how they write songs with two essential ingredients: a catchy tune and poignant lyrics.

Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added I Believe In Miracles to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Bradby Sings, including Stay Strong, and People of the Free World.

Establishing the mood with a vibrant synth melody, padded drums, astral piano and timeless guitar notions, Bradby Sings open Sing Out Loud with nostalgic allure and the situational lyrics, “I remember the day when you came along, I tried to say something cool but it came out wrong…”

We are immediately enamoured by the timeless nature of the unfolding narrative and the cinematic depth of the track which would be perfect for a range of sync placements, notably a remake of a film like Notting Hill or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

In essence, the song is about the rush and excitement of developing a strong crush on someone who suddenly changes the way we experience everyday life. We love the relatable vibes of how at the beginning, we remember the awkward first moment of meeting and how nervous we felt.

From that point on, our muse becomes the centre of attention, making it difficult to eat, sleep, or focus because our thoughts keep drifting back to them. The presence of other people, especially other girls in the room, hints at a sense of competition, though as the song continues, the mood shifts from nervousness to joy.

Our outlook has evolved and the things that once made us complain or feel negative no longer bother us because thinking about our love brightens our day. The repeated desire to “sing out loud” with a crowd is brilliant and really encapsulates the authenticity of the overarching sentiment.

The song is a masterclass in charm and human emotion. The timeless vibes are simply sublime. We learn that Bradby Sings is comprised of Henna & Stiles, who cite Kirsty MacColl, Arctic Monkeys, Elvis Costello and Lily Allen as sonic influences for the track, which we can feel manifest, although there is no doubt that Bradby Sings are creating a universe of their own.

We have added Sing Out Loud to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Bradby Sings, including Stay Strong, and People of the Free World.
