Brooke Lee continues her rise with the release of “Burn To Black,” a haunting and emotionally direct new single available now through Spirit Nashville Recordings and 2Mix Music. The track introduces Lee’s forthcoming sophomore EP and arrives as another strong step forward for a songwriter already gaining attention across Nashville and beyond.
Lee has been quietly building serious momentum. Willie Nelson, Ty Myers, Wade Bowen, Gavin DeGraw, Redferrin, Needtobreathe, and Lukas Nelson have all recognized the Charlotte-born singer-songwriter’s ability, inviting her to share stages and collaborate. It is the kind of industry respect that rarely happens by accident. Lee earned it through sharp songwriting and commanding live performances.
“Burn To Black” digs into the emotional aftershock of first love. Written with Jon Nite and Danielle Blakey, the song circles around a difficult question that lingers long after the relationship ends. “Will I ever be able to effortlessly love again?” Lee’s vocal carries the weight of that uncertainty while the melody moves with quiet intensity.
The music lands with a slow-burning emotional pull. The storytelling is vivid and deeply personal, built around memories that refuse to fade. Lines like “We drank your daddy’s whiskey / I swam in my mama’s dress” paint the kind of scene that sticks with listeners long after the final chorus.
Lee brings the song to the stage next month when she joins Needtobreathe on their “Barely Elegant Acoustic Tour.” It is another major spotlight moment for a songwriter whose music continues to connect through honesty, emotion, and a voice that carries real gravity.
