Like A Man, the new EP from multicultural, multilingual songwriter, vocalist, visual artist, and author Brie Stoner, resonates with a newfound confidence, clarity, and coquettish swagger. A melodic ode to Stoner’s formative years in Los Angeles, the record shimmers like sunshine on ocean waves. In contrast with the free flowing, meandering, and unhurried energy of recent full-length Me Veo, Like A Man captures Stoner’s painterly lyricism in concise, heady confections. With the help of producer David Vandervelde (Father John Misty), she has created a piece of art that both stands on its own and serves as a sonic bridge to her upcoming California-themed 2025 full length.
