Rewind

Curated by Winn

And we're back! It's been over ten years since Brite v1 (briterevolution.com) signed off - and we've missed it every day since. Brite's mission has always been to introduce music lovers to artists they need to know about. It would take a thousand lifetimes to listen to the entirety of what's out there, and honestly, a lot of it would be lifetimes wasted. But there are some incredible artists putting out unbelievably good music - and struggling to cut through the noise. And that's where we come in. It was important in 2014, and it's even more important in 2026. With 'the algorithm' driving what you hear, we thought there's never been a better time to relaunch Brite. And so without further adieu, we're kicking things off with a bit of nostalgia. Here are ten of our favorite songs from Brite 1.0. We drop a new issue (mixtape, featured artist, and Brite Session) every Friday. Welcome to the show!
