Thank You, No Thank You is not a breakup song. It’s a declaration. This is the moment when love turns into clarity. When grace replaces resentment. When strength sounds calm instead of loud. Brixley delivers a once in a lifetime vocal performance, backed by a full orchestra, where breath, restraint, and soul do the heavy lifting. Every note is intentional. Every pause matters. This is what it soun...

This record started with one question. Do you fight for love, or do you choose flight? Big Willie represents the part of us that wants to stay, to fix, to hold on. Brixley is the voice we try to silence when the truth is uncomfortable. She belts because conflict is loud. She whispers because leaving is quiet. This isn’t about drama. It’s about self respect, timing, and knowing when the groove no l...

This song is a confession, not a performance. Big Willie steps into the truth with no excuses, no ego, and no shortcuts. Inspired by classic 90s R&B, this track is about owning mistakes, choosing love over pride, and finding the courage to stay when walking away would be easier. The vocals are raw and layered, pulled from the deepest part of the soul. Piano and strings guide the emotion, while the...

This one is about energy. Not anger. Not bitterness. Energy. Brixley doesn’t explain herself here. She doesn’t soften the message. She lets the beat lead and the truth follow. Inspired by early 90s dance music and built with a live band feel, this track surrounds you with rhythm and refuses to let go. It’s the sound of choosing yourself. Of not negotiating your worth. Of letting the music do the t...

Before I hit publish, I just want to say this. This song comes straight from love, joy, and movement. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about rhythm, legacy, and the way music carries what words sometimes can’t. Ace, I can’t wait to see you this Christmas. This one’s for you, now and always. Alright. Let’s share it. #williamrochelle #FromMeToMyGrandsonAce #BigWillie #FamilyLove...

DONE BEFORE YOU | Part 2 Brixley This is what clarity sounds like when it finally gets loud. Done Before You is Part 2 of a two part musical conversation about love, power, and choosing yourself without hesitation. This is not about getting the last word. It’s about telling the truth before someone else tries to tell it for you. Brixley’s voice doesn’t chase closure. It commands space. Backed by l...

WE’RE DONE | Part 1 Big Willie This is the sound of a man choosing himself. We’re Done is Part 1 of a two part musical conversation about love, misalignment, and the moment when staying costs more than leaving. There’s no screaming here. No finger pointing. No dramatic exit. Just the calm authority of someone who finally understands the truth and accepts it. This song is about restraint. About hol...

I didn’t write this to be comfortable. I wrote it to be honest. Confusion, Deceit, and Lies is what happens when you stop swallowing narratives and start questioning them. When calm turns into pressure. When silence turns into sound. When rage gets refined into something focused instead of reckless. This song lives in the space between nature and noise. Between breath and impact. Between grief and...

This isn’t a performance piece. It’s a statement of care. Christmas 2025 is not easy for everyone. For many, it’s heavy. Financially. Emotionally. Spiritually. And yet, what I keep seeing across this country is something powerful. People choosing people . This song and this image represent a simple truth. That we are more than our bank accounts. More than our circumstances. More than the stories t...

Oh Orange Blob, Oh Orange Blob is a Christmas song wrapped in sleigh bells, soul, and a side eye. It sounds festive on the surface. Warm harmonies. Vintage holiday vibes. A groove that feels like a classic Christmas record you swear you heard growing up. But listen closer and it’s asking a question a lot of people are quietly asking between the lights and the laughter. When will this end? The song...

I didn’t want to write a Christmas song about buying things. I wanted to write one about belonging. Because it’s Christmas came from that place. The place where family isn’t always perfect, but love still shows up. Where joy isn’t loud, but it’s steady. Where music carries memory and warmth instead of noise. This song is for anyone who needs a reminder that Christmas can still feel real. Still fee...

It was my first time joining one of her shows, and the experience landed deeper than expected. The discussion touched on energy work, presence, and listening in ways that stayed with me long after t...
