Montreal’s Queen of Soulful Rock Riiver Brukes gets serious with her latest Little Black Book Single & Video!
The queen is back and she’s getting serious this time! Riiver Brukes brings up some serious social issues with her latest single Little Black Book.
“Little Black Book is about your value in a World where we are dispensable. We are literally just a number in a financially driven world. When money and power becomes more important than human beings, it’s a big problem guaranteed to be rife with hatred, corruption and abuse. Sadly, this is not new. It’s repeated throughout history. War, domestic disharmony, oppression and people are all lucrative and desirable commodities, it would seem…
If success is measured primarily on possessions though, we will never be content. There will always be something new or just out of reach – but when is enough? How many voices will be silenced? What must be sacrificed for bigger or better ‘things’?
How sad that we might live a lifetime to achieve so much, and yet so little. It’s all about you Friends…priority checklist. Being confident in yourself, loving yourself (and those you care for) and being a warrior for kindness and humanity is the beginning and the end. The rest is really just a distraction, a money shifting side show in somebody else’s Little Black Book..” explains Riiver Brukes
LITTLE BLACK BOOK is available on:
APPLE, SPOTIFY, AMAZON, DEEZER,
