“I am a flamingo in a world full of pigeons. I want to be a voice for those who, like me, want to achieve their dreams.” There’s an empire I have in mind, and I want to make it the biggest thing ever. I’m extremely ambitious, so there’s nothing I feel like I can’t achieve.
Mainstream ubiquity is at the top of the bucket list: “This year, I feel like the sky’s the limit. As she chats to NME in a plain-coloured tracksuit – the uniform of an off-duty popstar – she frequently enjoys playing up the over-the-top aspects of her personality, melodramatically tossing her hair away from her oversized sunglasses, and frequently flashing a megawatt smile when we discuss the year ahead. “You think you hot hot / You ain’t got it like me / Don’t lie, baby, tell the truth,” she sang over thumping electro.Īs the music suggests, Bree is an equally expressive person away from the camera. 2021’s ‘Hot Hot’, was not just a stellar single but a state of mind, a no-holds-barred approach to confidence and movement. Her music is an ambitious mix of pop, rock, R&B and hip-hop that overflows with ideas and immediacy little surprise she’s generated a global and diverse fandom that lives for her appetite for risk and Y2K-leaning vision. She’s beginning it by featuring in the NME 100, our bumper list of the most exciting new artists on the planet right now. Coat: Rick Owens, Necklace: Monika Bereza, Shoes: Sophia Webster, Hoisery: Wolfordįor Bree, 2022 is set to be that kind of year – surreal, gratifying, kind of overwhelming.

“Everything about this cover story is mad. “I’m on the cover of NME? That’s some real rockstar shit,” she exclaims, her eyes lighting up as she reclines into a sofa. When things settle down, we peel off to the only quiet corner of this east London studio, so that Bree can exhale and begin to adjust back to reality. The fact we’re running two hours behind schedule suddenly doesn’t seem to matter anymore – we’re now in the presence of a real, rising superstar.
Bedecked in layers of custom jewellery, an oversized puffer jacket, pin-sharp acrylic nails and skyscraper heels, she walks slowly towards our photographer with the confidence and poise of a model.Ī team of at least 10 stylists, makeup artists, managers and friends – the kind of infrastructure needed for an artist of this talent and status – gasp, and stand watching, filming, admiring her every move. When Bree Runway emerges from her dressing room at her first-ever NME cover shoot, it’s like being in a high-fashion fever dream.
