Brandyn Burnette
State I'm In
Album · Pop · 2016
After-hours slow jams to set the mood, the American Idol dropout's EP is magnetic, experimental R&B. “Are you coming over?” Burnette croons on “Worship", a song about making lascivious late-night plans. Seduction is a theme on State I’m In, which deals in X-rated references, breathy pop hooks, and stirring electronic production from Chicago's Win & Woo. But even with all the bells and whistles, it's Burnette’s tender vocals that make this a must-listen.
