An anthem of resilience and strength, ‘BLOODY KNUCKLES’ is likely to resonate with a lot of people out there. Let’s be honest: the world is in turmoil, and so are the people living in it, both on a personal and societal level. Bri Carter knows it very well: having ‘survived’ a disastrous 2024, packed with disappointment and negativity, she’s making the conscious choice to stand up to the difficulties, appealing to her inner fierceness in order to knock down that invisible wall of apparent pain.
She does so by engaging in what he does best: penning anthemic, emotional and bold musical gems rooted in emo flavourings and electro-punk. ‘BLOODY KNUCKLES’ is the final result of such a process, a striking, hard-hitting record that doesn’t overpower its production; rather, it provides space for Carter’s vivid, impressive vocals to resonate in all their melancholic and cathartic energy.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the single, the American talent explains: “2024 was a losing battle. It was always one step forward, two steps back. But each time we fall, we are given a choice: to stay down or to rise again. It’s in the getting back up that shows your true strength. ‘BLOODY KNUCKLES’ is about just that. Being in a fight that feels like it’s about to end in a knockout, but finding that last piece of strength to get back up one more time.”
