Mister Chorister - Brave

There’s no easing into things with Mister Chorister. “Brave” arrives with a clear sense of where it wants to go and sounds more like a comeback than a debut. The project, led by Christopher Scott Brammer, comes after a long hiatus from music, which gives the song a strong sense of purpose. The music video has been directed by Davide Rotigliano of Daveland Studio whose outstanding animation chops give this song life. The song starts easy but quickly revs up its gears. Guitars join in, drums land with a punch, and shimmering synths run through the mix which gives it an expansive feel. Brammer’s voice takes the song forward with a straightforward tone. Lines like “You can only break through if you know who you are” are impactful, while the hook “you are so brave” is built to resonate. It feels like something meant to be shouted back at a live crowd. As the song builds, every note pushes forward together, creating a full, anthemic excitement. Underneath it all is the simple idea about stepping forward, fighting your demons and not holding back. “Brave” would fit into a big epiphanic scene in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The song’s energy and message are aligned with those moments where Miles Morales is figuring himself out and choosing his own path, especially during the film’s action-packed sequences. For a first release, this doesn’t play it safe. It goes big, bold and more importantly, it feels earned. Read More
