\"11692527_10153517020503128_6981214758682523978_n\"<\/a>Singer, songwriter, poet, and feminist showgirl,\u00a0Brigitte Aphrodite, releases her new single, ‘Creshendorious’, taken from her electrifying musical that she has written and performs in, ‘My Beautiful Black Dog’, which will be coming to the Latitude and Edinburgh Festivals in Summer 2015. \u00a0The new single will be released August 07 2015 and\u00a0will be available to buy digitally through Beautiful Black Dog Records\u00a0and will also be on her forthcoming album that is due to be released in Autumn 2015.\u00a0All supporters of Brigitte\u00a0<\/span>Aphrodite’s\u00a0Kickstarter<\/a><\/span><\/u>\u00a0will receive a complimentary download of the track.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The song ‘Creshendorious’ is a musical form of spoken word that is rhythmic and dynamic with a hip-hop style instrumentation and lyrics that are “on the spur of the moment” and “off the top of the head” with a comedic and honest realism. \u00a0The song starts with an intimate finger style acoustic guitar and chilled out bass that breaks into a hip-hop beat with quiet samples and brief melodies that swell in the background ambience and begin to build as the song starts to take the form of a crescendo. As the music is introduced, the lyrics begin with an “in your face” spoken word vocal telling a painfully honest yet strangely humorous story that ascends into a chorus like hook with a more vocalized singing style. The intensity of the vocals and the dynamics of the instrumentation begin to swell and build as the song finally reaches a climax both lyrically and musically.<\/div>\n

\u201cBlack dog is what Winston Churchill used to call his depression… I have a beautiful black dog and I call her Creshendorious.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\"11231031_10153480036483128_4775041694914460435_n\"<\/a>Another description of My Beautiful Black Dog is explained as, “This exhilarating show challenges the urgent stigma around mental health and encourages the audience to take ownership of their own black dogs through infectious dance moves, swagger-boss costumes and banging tunes\u00a0<\/span>surrounded by silver streamers, sequins and sparkles. Brigitte is championing a new kind of \u2018gig theatre\u2019 which draws as much on the history of rock and roll as it does traditional theatrical performance.”<\/span><\/div>\n
