Spotify Spotlight: R&B Trio Brb. Blooms with Sophomore EP Fleur

brb.? lands a fresh EP: fleur

After dropping the hard‑hitting debut relationshit that handed us classics like “cool with it” and “talking to myself,” the three‑piece — Clarence Liew, Oliveiro, Auzaie Zie and Marc Lian — has stepped up their game with a four‑track buzz‑worthy collection.

What’s the vibe?

Think of fleur as a mood upgrade: a slick, upbeat jam that steers toward pop crossover. The group’s vocals are sharper than ever, turning every chorus into a taste‑bud explosion.

The hit single “saint”

“saint” lays down brassy beats and guitar riffs that melt into a booming chorus — it’s basically the future snapshot for brb.?, breathing fresh life into their sound. Watch their recent live‑stream performance and you’ll see why fans are saying, “We’re missing live music!” The energy is contagious.

Why you should feel the music

Trio’s musical gymnastics bring soul, style, and a buoyant rhythm that you can’t help but dance to.
The production feels modern yet intimate, letting you hear every nuance.
Each track is a mini‑journey from pop to jazz‑infused grooves.

In short: brb.? isn’t just dropping tunes; they’re dropping moods. Grab your headphones, vibe to fleur, and let the music do the talking.

What is the concept behind fleur and how does this collection of songs develop the band’s identity after the first EP?

Why “Fleur” is the New Pulse of Our Beats

What the name really means

Fleur guesses you might think of roses and petals—true! But in the world of music, it’s all about growth and change. Think of a garden that keeps blooming, just like every track we drop.

Our sonic journey from “relationshit”

Since the first vibe hit the airwaves, we’ve been evolving – no shortcuts.
Listen to the subtle shift between “saint” and “move”; that’s the sound of us pushing boundaries.
Every drop, every hook, carries the story we’re writing on the sonic page.

What’s next on the playlist?

We’re not just stopping here. We’re dialing it up, aiming for even cooler sounds, fresh beats, and that spark of creativity you’ll pick up on right away.

Lead single saint features all three band members on vocals for the first time. What was that like?

Our Musical Playbook: A Quick Recap

Honestly, we’ve been grooving to this beat for a while now, and everyone’s hit the stage before. So, it wasn’t brand‑new when we first hopped onto the mic.

What Did the Cool Kids Do?

Trial & Error: We tried dozens of styles—everything from heavy riffs to acoustic vibes—until we landed on the groove that feels just right.
Fine‑Tuning: Pitch, timing, and all that jazz—each tweak got us closer to our perfect sound.
Stay Playful: Even when things hit a snag, we kept it light and laughed off the rough patches.

Why the Effort?

Even though the music isn’t brand new to us, nailing the right blend takes time. We’ve learned that a little trial, a dash of humor, and a lot of persistence make all the difference.

Bottom Line

We’ve sung, we’ve experimented, and we’ll keep doing it until the music feels just right. And yes, music like this brings us joy—and a few moments of delightful chaos.

What role does each member play when it comes to the collaborative song-making process?

Meet Marc: The Beat Beast

When it comes to laying down tracks, Marc is an absolute monster. He’s so prolific that the drums never get tired, and we’re lucky enough to tap into that endless flow. You could call him the creative powerhouse that keeps our studio humming.

Our Collaborative Songwriting Engine

We don’t just write songs in isolation; it’s a full‑on team effort. Each of us brings a unique flavor to the table:

Clo: The wordsmith who churns out the bulk of the lyrics. If you’re looking for the skeleton of a song, you’ll find it in Clo’s notebook.
Zee: The ad‑lib maestro and the “hook” wizard. Zee cuts through clunky lines, tosses in those spontaneous bursts, and finds the perfect hook to make a chorus stick.
Marc: The beat architect that keeps everything on beat and never lets the rhythm slip. His contributions are the glue that stitches our ideas together.

Hooked on the Process

Think of our songwriting as a delicious casserole: Clo lays down the core ingredients, Zee spices it up with fun twists, and Marc adds the soundtrack sauce that makes everything irresistible. The result? A hit that’s both polished and packed with character.

What are some of the lyrical themes that you explore in this EP?

Rolling Back to Romance

We find ourselves once more in the throes of love—yes, I’m talking about heart‑whirled ballads and the sweet ache of new connections. Even though we promised ourselves, the elusive monster of procrastination, that it would be a different theme, the EP somehow landed back in the “love & relationships” camp. Guilty as charged… ha!

Meet “Move” – Our New Feel‑Good Anthem

This track is no ordinary heartbreak anthem; it’s a heartfelt pep talk in song form. “Move” reminds us to:

Ignore the drama that tries to bog us down.
Celebrate the everyday hustle – from coffee spills to first‑date jitters.
Treasure the small moments that make life feel worthwhile.

In short, it’s a love letter to every day, delivered with a grin and a groove.

Why We’re Still Falling for Love

Maybe the universe thinks we’re better at falling in love than we are at staying detached. Either way, we’re embracing the mess; it’s all part of the journey. So, strap in, laugh a bit, and let the music remind you that, whatever happens, we’re moving forward—one beat at a time.

We’re Gearing Up for Musical Greatness

Thank you so much! We’ve been hustling hard to craft songs that we can actually brag about.

What Makes Them Truly Special?

And the secret ingredient? Marc—the mastermind behind all the magic.

Every track wears a sprinkle of Marc’s flair. It’s always him, no doubt. Haha!
