Bre Royal Pines About ‘Overseas Love’
Bre Royal is not your typical garden variety dancehall artist. She is as equally adept at belting out steamy love ballads as singjaying witty double entendres and lyrics about modern day romance.
Her latest single, ‘Overseas Love,’ is a steamy romantic song about the bitters and sweets of long-distance relationships.
“The feedback has been phenomenal so far, people are really liking and gravitating to the vibe of it. The inspiration comes from my own experience of being in a long distance relationship and facing the challenges that come with that but, in the end, I believe that : Love Conquers All,” the artiste whose real name is Britney Forsythe, said.
The song was released on the Chase Mills Records label earlier this week.
During her teens, she lived in Spanish Town and attended Ascot High in Portmore before she transferred to Micoud Secondary in St. Lucia.
“Growing up in Spanish Town was a good experience, and I found that St. Lucia isn’t that much different from Jamaica, it’s just that St. Lucia has a more relaxed atmosphere,” she said.
She was always into music from a tender age and started composing songs at age 12 when she realised that she wanted to pursue music as a career. The first song she recorded was a love song called “Bunny” which was released in 2017 under her stage name, Bre Royal.
“My first name is “Britney” but my family and friends call me “Bre”. I got the name “Royal” from my best friend because his alias is “Royal” I asked him to use his name because it just sounds right and he said ‘of course why not?’. That’s how i got then name “Bre Royal”,” she explained.
She plans to release her first EP in 2025 and is focused on releasing singles as interested producers are already sending beats her way. Promoters, intrigued by her unique sound, have also expressed an interest in her doing club shows throughout the Caribbean.
“I am ready to make my mark and let everyone know what Bre Royal represents,” she said.
