Brielle Fragé On New R&B Single “Glad That’s Over”, Early Music Inspirations, Creative Process, & More
Oct
New Jersey native Brielle Fragé gives insight on hit song “Glad That’s Over.”
Brielle Fragé is letting it be known that she’s not with the antics and she will not be played. On the newly released smash hit titled “Glad That’s Over”, the 24 year old singer greets her audience with the following:
“Some things are just temporary and I… figured from day 95/ started reading in between the lines/ took me a while… didn’t mind him doing his thing, long as I can do mine.”
The singer holds no punches as her sharp, direct, and smooth delivery effortless intertwine with the ambience of the song. The song continues to groove and we hear Brielle express her gratitude for not allowing herself to get caught knee deep in a toxic relationship that proves to just be a phase. We hear the introspective artist talk herself through an extremely vulnerable time in a way that’s both reassuring and honest. Although she was not knee deep beyond rescue, she’s still wondering who would′ve thought I’d get so caught up? What you hear is a woman who cut her losses just in the nick of time and made sure to boss up. “Turned into a real savage while sharpening all her senses.” The lyrics are raw, but Brielle’s voice and aura somehow disarm her intensity to an extent. Brielle leaves it up to the listener to define her level of intensity, letting the impact of every word fall where it may. “Glad That’s Over” is a song that women of all ages can relate to, synonymous with a single like Mary J. Blige’s ‘Not Gon’ Cry.’

What drew you to music?
“Well my mom is musically inclined and sings, so I possibly had a gift since birth? I was singing at a very young age. It started in church, then school, and the rest is history.”
How would you describe your creative process?
“Well being that this is my first project, I wrote about my life and the people I’m around a lot. Sometimes a certain situation will spark a song title or make me think of a melody. From there the lyrics would come. Or that song title idea would become a poem and then music would be arranged around that.”
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
“I really didn’t know what actually went into the music industry. I just always knew I wanted to sing for people. There have been so many people over the years that have poured knowledge into me. I remember hearing ‘singing everywhere is just not enough, you need to create and get some of your own work out.’ So that’s what I did.”
What is your main inspiration?
“What inspires me the most is the creative process. An idea or melody comes to mind, and you can’t help but get into a studio or to an instrument and work to finish it. The end result is just an explainable feeling.”
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
“It would definitely be the way labels pick their artists now a days. Social media is such a huge part of that and it’s just very interesting to me.”
What does the track “Glad That’s Over” mean to you personally?
“Well I remember reading a quote somewhere saying ‘people that come into your life are either a blessing or a lesson.’ I think that’s the core meaning of my song. All while hyping myself up and whoever else sings along!”
