LA-based artist Claire Brooks has dropped her highly anticipated EP, I Will Outlive You, a genre-blurring collection that showcases her high-energy, experimental approach to music. Serving as a message to her younger self, the project blends soulful melodies, experimental twists, and punchy lyricism, cementing Brooks as one of today’s most innovative voices in music.
The EP kicks off with the stripped-back, soulful Bleach, which highlights Brooks’ vocal range before delving into her signature edgy, hip-hop-infused sound. This track is followed by TEN TOES DOWN, an empowering anthem that celebrates self-worth with high-energy production.
As Brooks explains, “‘TEN TOES DOWN is a sonic slap in the face to the part of me that ever gets down on myself. The lyrics are a direct reminder that I am in fact the shit, and the energy of the song makes sure anyone listening feels the same way about themselves.”
Each track on the EP tells a different story, drawing from the depth of Brooks’ personal experiences. Reflecting on the inspiration behind the project, she says, “This EP has been my anchor amid all of this uncertainty. Making these songs has reminded me of who I am—Incredibly happy, incredibly sad, the deepest laugh, a big suffocating bear hug, the smell of grass after rain, a super sharp edge you just can’t stop touching, the taste of black coffee as it lingers on your tongue. The perfect peach. The moon spilling onto the ocean.”
The EP includes previously released singles such as Slowly Towards the Door, Hibernation, GO(RILLA), and the most recent PISCES FINE. These tracks have generated significant buzz and helped build anticipation for the full release.
I Will Outlive You marks a defining moment in Brooks’ career, following a series of standout performances, including opening for Tayla Parx in NYC and an appearance on the viral Instagram rap series HunnaG.
With I Will Outlive You, Claire Brooks has solidified her place as a genre-defying force, combining musical boundaries and deeply personal storytelling into a vibrant, high-intensity experience.
