Brooke August shoots for everything and delivers in "All I Really Want"

Brooke August is back with her latest single, “All I Really Want,” a song that showcases the breadth of her genre-bending imagination as much as it packs an emotional punch. Heartfelt but inventive, introspective yet explosive, the record reintroduces an artist unafraid to cross all kinds of lines while still tapping into the sincerity that powers her music.

Brooke enters a meditative place, inviting listeners into a longing, cerebrated, and intensely personal state. It’s the kind of hook that resonates long after the final note fades, reminding listeners to examine their own unresolved yearnings for more.

Brooke August raises the stakes of the arrangement with a risky, charming surprise: bringing in a saxophone. Warm and emotive action cuts through this track with a sense of easy freeness that, in memorable measure, is a contrast, simultaneously resonant of the past and disarmingly new-feeling.

The sax, the punk edge, the emotionally direct lyrics, all of it works together with an intuition that shows Brooke’s creative radar is as fierce as it is technically savvy. “All I Really Want” is not only a single but also a statement. A genre-fluid, shape-shifting feat of resonance and triumph, a victory from Brooke August that lingers, creatively inspires, and demands not only our attention but an agreement to chase, or capture everything.
