“The Dawn Is Still Dark,” the title track from Laura Brehm’s brand new full length album, is a call to raise awareness of the climate crisis. The official video, directed by Chris Orwat of Pure Cinematography and filmed in rural northern Colorado, begins sad and dark, Laura seemingly alone in the world, in an unconscious state and seeing flashes of environmental crises and protests. As the emotional intensity of the song progresses, a new incarnation of Laura appears, bringing hope and light, and a vision of something better that awaits in the future if we truly work together in unity and love.
One of the most highly sought-after vocalists in the EDM realm, Laura Brehm emerges from her chrysalis to reveal her debut full length album, ‘The Dawn Is Still Dark.’ The self-produced record showcases the diverse talent of the Denver-based songwriter, producer, and musician.
Laura crafts delicate and powerful pop ballads, intertwining electronic and orchestral threads. She delves into personal battles with anxiety, as well as the collective anxiety of impending climate change.
“My new album is a play on the phrase we’ve all heard, ‘it’s darkest before the dawn.’ The title puts a twist on this by conveying it’s still dark outside when you expected the sunrise. It’s generally about times in our lives where we feel that we have waited so long, we have done all we can, we are at the end of our strength, and when we think we’ll finally be arriving at the end of the tunnel, more darkness awaits. However, with the strength you have gained through the process, you are able to ascend through the darkness. It’s very meaningful to me because it comes from my own personal experience with anxiety, insomnia, unhealthy relationships, and escapism. I hope to help the listener process through their own similar emotions and leave them with a feeling of strength, inspiration, or renewal by the time they’ve listened through.”
