Bri Anne Michelle,一位出生在美国小镇Grass Valley的姑娘，在家乡质朴、清新空气的哺育下，带着自己与众不同的的音乐来到纽约、洛杉矶这样的大都市中寻找自己的音乐梦想。本张专辑的灵感来自于Bri Anne Michelle自己的生活，至亲不幸去世，生活中到处都是出乎意外的事情，与其说她写了这张专辑，倒不如说是专辑记录了她的生活。正如Bri Anne Michelle自己说的那样，无论我们的生活是什么样，美丽、清闲、充满爱意亦或满是荆棘，我们都是主角，因为这生活是我们自己的。来吧！朋友们，一起听歌，一起享受我们的生活……The album, Surround Yourself, is a tapestry of the many cultures and relationships Bri Anne Michelle has immersed herself in over the last few years of her life. This album was created over many unexpected seasons of personal growth and change. Through the encounters of close friends dying, loved ones leaving, 50th wedding anniversaries, and babies being born, I can honestly say I didn't write this album, but instead, it wrote me.Collaborating with different musicians and producers in Nashville, NY, LA, San Francisco, and her home town, Grass Valley, has helped in defining her voice. Bri’s grass roots and all-embracing lifestyle. have stimulated a sound that has naturally evolved into a collection of pop\u002Fcountry music. When listening to this album, you will most likely find yourself bopping your head and singing along to the catchy doo doo dop bop bop's on the upbeat, free spirited song, Love Is A Language, while in the next moment belting out, Is it too much to ask for a love that will last forever, in your car on the freeway. You'll experience the true emotions involved in falling in love, being cheated on, embracing family, falling in love again, learning to say good bye, trying to forget, and begging for something better to come along.We are what we surround ourselves with in this life. Whether it is beauty, space, love, or heartache, it becomes us. - Bri Anne Michelle
