SXSW | Sepricon | Brittany Davis at the 2024 SXSW Music Festival @SXSW | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
For Brittany Davis, sound is three-dimensional. It's size, shape, and color. It's language.
"As a blind person, I've never had an actual visual experience," they say. "Sound is the way I've always seen my world."
Brittany brings that world to cinematic life with Images Issues, their full-length debut as a solo artist. Arriving on the heels of 2022's I Choose to Live — an introductory EP that was championed by outlets like NPR (who hosted Davis for a Tiny Desk Concert) and SPIN Magazine (who praised Davis' "intuitive virtuosity across deeply-felt rock, funk, and R&B") — it's a wildly creative project that obliterates the traditional borders between genre and job. Brittany isn't just the album's vocalist; they're also the songwriter, engineer, co-producer, and multi-instrumentalist responsible for nearly every sound on the album. Those sounds are just as diverse as the person who created them, with Image Issues making room for gospel piano, hip-hop grooves, house beats, jazz chords, self-made samples, and everything in between. It's a wide mix — and it's all Brit.
