Dayton, OH alt-pop singer, songwriter and performer Brooklyn Belton is an interesting one. She’s been described as pop-punk in the past, and that might be stretching the use of the word “punk” even by today’s standards.

That said, she’s blessed with bags of energy and no small amount of snotty attitude. That’s been highlighted by “Our Life,” which builds and then bursts into life a la PVRIS or CHVRCHES. One of those upper case “V” bands. “All I Wanted” weighs heavier towards the pop end of the spectrum. None of the genre stuff matters anyway—Belton knows how to pen a tune that sticks with you for a good while.
