Briana Renea Releases Her New Single and puts her heart on the line while singing about what it takes to be her man.
It has become rather customary for her devoted fans to witness Briana Renea in her most fierce and passionate state dancing across the stage with the dynamite energy of dirt roads and electric guitars. Briana’s high-energy, hard hitting vocals are complemented by that striking red-hair ‘do and a boisterous attitude to match. Her latest country tune, “Maybe You Can Be My Man” set to be released Friday, August 30, 2019, is notable for how she chooses to let her hair down, wearing her heart on her sleeve and deciding to delve into what it takes to be her man.
A cheery, sun-splashed summer girl-next-door groove welcomes the track--- Briana speaking to a potential suiter and whether he wants to see her again--amidst a delicious mash of soft guitar chords and bouncy triangle chirps. But as she begins to issue her ultimatums, the guitar is amplified, the rock flavors reveal themselves and Briana asserts her well-meaning conditions for the relationship.
Briana has extensively discussed the struggles of her dating life with her co-writer Steve Mitchell, and how this track is rooted in the uncertainty but the hopefulness that is accompanied by a new relationship, especially when the person in question is a country singer-songwriter from Canby, Oregon, completing degrees by day, performing on stage by night. But Briana’s songwriting choices are distinct in their own right: she doesn’t just bring her usual sass and fire, with encouragement from Nashville producer Jason Wyatt, she stretches out those vocal cords in the chorus and puts herself at the forefront of her story.
“Sometimes I wanna talk a river, other times I need to be alone”; here Briana is asserting and owning up to all the wondrous, fascinating parts that make her who she is, and that is perhaps the level of assurance she seeks from her “Man”. The extended guitar solo at the bridge just demonstrates how Renea is willing to dabble in a variety of sounds and genres as long as they bolster the outstanding feel of the song. She throws down her voice in its full ferocity, however complex and challenging it may seem to her potential partner and reveals that there lie layers upon layers underneath her persona.
