Brittany Tsewole, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist behind Senseless Optimism, has signed with leading independent publisher Prescription Songs, with new single “Heat” out now via Amigo Records. The track arrives as a sharp, self-assured statement: “It’s really just a reminder to myself to stay away from scrubs,” she says. “It feels good to stand on your boundaries, even if it’s a little bittersweet.” Listen here.
“Heat” follows the 2025 EP ‘graveyard flowers’, which introduced breakout track “war & peace,” a driving, hypnotic piece built on steady rhythms and introspective lyricism. Senseless Optimism’s guitar-driven pop carries a distinct worldview shaped by a childhood spent across Africa and Sri Lanka, where her foreign service parents were posted, giving her music a perspective that’s genuinely hard to replicate.
Her fanbase already spans from Willow to Pete Townshend of The Who, and her self-produced videos, where she clones herself playing guitar, bass, drums, and more, have pulled millions of views across TikTok and Instagram, building an audience of over 200K followers.
Prescription Songs VP of A&R Chris Martignago has been watching since 2023. “There was an honesty and sincerity that immediately set her apart,” he says. “She’s found a voice that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. There’s a rare fearlessness in the way she creates.”
