Daily Pop News: Exclusive Interview with Brett Pruneau

by jodi marxbury

Hi Brett, thanks for sitting down with us today. Let’s start off by telling us a bit about your new single!
Hi! Thanks so much! My latest single is called ‘Sitting on Top of the World’ – it’s a real “feel-good” bop written by Australia’s Sweetheart, Delta Goodrem. There’s a real excitement in the arrangement and in the song itself which I felt was quite fitting for the way I was feeling about the Entertainment Industry beginning to finally come alive again.

How is it different from other songs you’ve put out in the past?
I tend to sing a good number of soaring ballads- I love to tug at the heart strings and really convey emotion, oftentimes that of heartbreak or unrequited love.

This song is the complete other end of the spectrum – definitely more energized and smile-inducing. You can’t beat a good anthem about feeling on top of the world.

What’s the scariest part of releasing music for you?
I used to be scared about the reaction from listeners: “will they like it?”

Now that I’m getting older, that has definitely gone away… I get such a rush from releasing music that speaks to me personally. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s really about anyways…. It has to mean something to you.

I’m pushing my boundaries musical with the new material I have been working on lately and it’s the most invigorated I’ve ever felt in my career. I’m really proud of it.
