Drawing us in with anthemic, textured drums and a dimensional guitar soundscape, demonstrating nothing short of instrumental mastery, Brett Benowitz opens Take Back Your Life with the observational prose “Got you worried about everything, got you living right on the brink, got you scrolling for hours on end, looking for a way to contend…”

The opus expands with prophetic wisdom and conscious depth as Brett shares his philosophical mind with us, accompanied by a 90s rock adjacent energy and a timeless nature. Needless to say, we are hooked.

Take Back Your Life showcases poetic prowess and and assertive vibe from the creator who manifests tangible charisma with his timbre and performance. Speaking on the intention of the release, Brett tells us, “Take Back Your Life is a message of empowerment that our modern world needs to hear.”

The rising star from Los Angeles continues, “We need to be reminded of how powerful we are, and how our addiction to our phones [and] social media have taken that power away from us. It takes you on a ride from start to finish. It’ll hit you hard and make you think differently about yourself and your place in this world.”

The guitar solo is simply transcendental, and we appreciate the twist within the construct of the song, tapping into cerebral energy with a high octane bridge, before an out of this world final roar and reprise from the talented creator… and just when we think the track is over, Brett leaves us with one more poignant performance of the title of the track! A true rockstar.

Elaborating on his message, Brett confesses, “We’ve become so addicted to our phones and this false digital world we all subscribe to that it’s made us so sensitive, fragile, and stressed out. We’ve forgotten how powerful we truly are and this song is a rallying cry to take that power back.”

Brett performs along with Philip Chuah on bass, whilst Nic Kubes plays drums, and Josh Vasquez totally slays on lead guitar. The talented creator cites The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The White Stripes, Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin, and Audioslave as sonic influences, which we can feel come through with his sound, although there is no doubt that Brett Benowitz is manifesting a universe of his own.

We love Brett Benowitz‘s unique offering, and have added Take Back Your Life to our New Music Spotlight playlist and our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Brett’s wider discography including Make It Right, and Before The Day I Die, and anticipate future releases from the visionary artist.
