Inspired by the vintage sounds and drum machines of the Chicago and Detroit undergrounds, Brittney Parks\u2019 third album pulsates in rhythmic patterns that adds a hefty muscle to her always invigorating violin playing and exposed lyricism. The combination opens up a new way of presenting for the 31-year-old, one that melds the technological with the emotional until a confluence of chrome and flesh is ready to leave the lab. It\u2019s her most direct and instantly impactful work to date, while also digging deeper into her psyche. \u201cSometimes I can get real low but I am high right now\u201d she sings on \u201cLos Cinci,\u201d summing up the mix of hedonism and torment that chart a path through <i>The BPM<\/i>.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            <i>The BPM<\/i> explores the end of a relationship and the freedom of being newly single, always finding a nuanced way of presenting both scenarios. One highlight on the album is the smooth house song \u201cMy Type,\u201d reminiscent of Kaytranda before he started making music solely for raves in Dubai. \u201cTouch Me,\u201d meanwhile juxtaposes moments of confidence (\u201cI know you like my body, yea it\u2019s curvy like a wave\u201d) with Parks pleading for honesty in an intimate moment. \u201cShe\u2019s Got Pain,\u201d perhaps best sums up the album\u2019s narrative with its depiction of a marionette Feeling both connected and controlled at the same time, it\u2019s a metaphor for an uncomfortable middle ground. By pushing her own music further out toward the edges, Parks has found a new place to innovate, play, and grow. \n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-275050\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            <iframe data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6xuXmpSyh7WqIct3bvsSfg?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <iframe allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *; fullscreen *; clipboard-write\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"450\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:660px;overflow:hidden;border-radius:10px;\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.music.apple.com\/us\/album\/the-bpm\/1820509805\"><\/iframe>\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">David Renshaw<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
