XYZ Artist Spotlight | Britton

Rising star Britton stopped by XYZ just in time for the release of her new single "WHO AM I?" and this one gets real. Britton wrote it like a journal entry, stream of consciousness, the first song after her debut album, including a verse about losing a young cousin and how it changed everything. We get into finally touring after years of hiding from the stage, what it feels like when fans sing every word back to you, and why chasing honesty beats chasing trends. Plus a few teases of unreleased stuff already making the rounds live. This one was special.Britton: https://www.instagram.com/frombritton/Erik: https://www.instagram.com/erikzXYZ with Erik Zachary is nationally syndicated daily across the U.S. and available worldwide on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and more.
