Blessed with a soulful voice that pairs perfectly with her willingness to fully put herself into her songs, Canadian singer/songwriter Vicki Brittle effortlessly brings newcomers into her world. Take her single, “20 Somethin’,” which intensely explores the trials and tribulations of becoming who you are. Amidst the uncertainty, she offers herself—and anyone listening—the grace and patience to take their time. Born in Arnprior, Ontario, Brittle began playing and writing music at a young age, woodshedding her craft at the town’s hockey games and bars. In 2016, she released her debut EP Candy, and she followed that up with her first full-length, One Love, in 2019. That year she also released the gently emotional single “It’s Only Love”; two years later she re-recorded a stripped-down piano version, which set her on a path of fine-tuning the emotionalism within her and using it to fuel her songwriting. Now, as she continues to release songs like “20 Somethin’,” she is continuing to prove that her art is fueled by vulnerability and honest connections with others.
