Brittany Collins released her critically acclaimed debut full-length album, ‘Things I Tell My Therapist,’ on September 2, 2022. The album quickly garnered attention for its profound exploration of themes including self-acceptance, trauma recovery, love, and loss. Notable tracks from the album include ‘The Apple,’ ‘The Journey,’ and ‘Belvedere Hotel,’ with the latter inspired by true crime narratives and historical context. Collins meticulously crafted the album through a live tracking approach at MARS studio in Bothell, Washington, efficiently completing 90% of the recording within three days alongside her band.
Prior to her breakthrough album, Collins embarked on her career as a solo artist approximately four years before the COVID-19 pandemic, intensifying her songwriting focus during that period. Her artistic journey evolved from early influences in punk and grunge to deeply embracing roots music genres such as folk, blues, and old-school country, drawn to their raw and honest portrayal of heartbreak, poverty, and oppression. This evolution solidified her distinctive sound as a soulful Americana artist and singer-songwriter. Following the release of ‘Things I Tell My Therapist,’ Collins was interviewed by Campfire Tales in September 2022, providing insights into the creative process behind her debut work.
Her commitment to exploring personal truths through her music makes her a compelling artist, captivating listeners with her authentic storytelling and soulful delivery. Collins continues to write and perform, solidifying her position as an impactful singer-songwriter whose work consistently resonates with themes of resilience and human experience.
