After setting the tone this summer with “Hey It’s Me” and “Before The Sun“, Broken Colours are back with yet another emotionally charged release — their heartfelt new single, Brother. It’s a song that reminds us why the High Wycombe four-piece have become such a standout presence in the UK indie scene: their ability to fuse warmth, groove, and raw emotion into something deeply human.
From the very first strum of the acoustic guitar, Brother feels intimate and grounding. The track’s gentle rhythm and understated percussion make space for the sincerity of its message — one of friendship, resilience, and unity in dark times. There’s an unmistakable honesty in the lyrics, a quiet comfort that comes through the band’s soulful vocals and melodic finesse. As the song builds, the instrumentation swells just enough to lift the spirit without losing its heartfelt simplicity, leaving you with that rare kind of indie anthem that feels both personal and universal.
Written as a tribute to the bond between bandmates, especially frontman’s connection with Umar, Brother carries an emotional authenticity that can’t be faked. It’s a song born out of shared struggle and mutual hope, reflecting not just the strength of friendship but the power of music to heal and unite.
Musically, Broken Colours continue to blur lines between indie rock and funk-inspired groove, drawing influence from greats like Arctic Monkeys and Jamiroquai. Their musicianship shines through effortlessly — tight, expressive, and full of heart. You can almost imagine this track lighting up a live crowd, with its balance of introspection and energy.
With Brother, Broken Colours aren’t just maintaining momentum — they’re solidifying their identity as a band that leads with authenticity. It’s the sound of artists who’ve weathered storms together and come out stronger, ready to take 2025 by the reins.
Brother is a tender yet powerful reminder of unity and resilience
