Bryce Vine releases a reflective and entertaining single titled, “Care at All.” The showcase of delicately blending multiple genres highlights Vine’s talents as a songwriter and vocalist. “Why do I even care at all?" Bryce laments on the plush track's chorus, after revealing that he's been spending a little too much time reflecting on a relationship gone wrong.
“Care at All” finds the multi-platinum Bryce Vine returning to the swirling production and introspective lyrics that have fueled his most memorable tracks, like his 2017 breakthrough “Drew Barrymore.” Brooding in an alcohol-soaked haze, he slides over a deceptively upbeat groove toward a bridge that leaves Bryce alone with his thoughts.
“This is a song about the heartbreak of losing someone. It’s going through all the ways you try to get them off your mind, but nothing is working. It’s a pretty depressing concept so I wanted to keep the vibe fun and energetic. I kept thinking about the song “Where Is My Mind” by The Pixies and tapping into that energy - like if they remade Fight Club in 2021, this song could be playing at the end as the buildings are blowing up.”
This new single follows a productive couple of years for Bryce Vine. In 2019, he released his debut full-length, Carnival, which included the platinum YG-assisted hit “La La Land.” He carried that momentum into 2020, releasing the contemplative Problems EP, collaborating on the post-party anthem “Stay” with Cheat Codes, and making the warm dance-pop single “Baby Girl” with The Neptunes’ Chad Hugo. "Care at All" is both a reminder of what made Bryce Vine’s music so alluring in the first place and an exciting look at the future as he stares down another busy year.
ABOUT BRYCE VINE:
Distilling nimble wordplay, hyper-charged hooks, and intimate guitars into genre-less and timeless songcraft, Bryce Vine leaves his stamp on pop music and culture. Since emerging in 2013, the Los Angeles-based multi-platinum singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist has quietly built a devoted audience with EPs such as Lazy Fair (2014) and Night Circus (2016). However, he popped off on an international scale with the double-platinum smash “Drew Barrymore.” It paved the way for the platinum “La La Land” [feat. YG] and his first full-length in 2019, Carnival. And when the world shut down in 2020, Bryce also looked inward and released the contemplative EP Problems. Along the way, he attracted widespread acclaim from Bustle, Billboard, Teen Vogue, American Songwriter, VIBE, Flaunt and more, with TIME declaring “Bryce Vine is the epitome of low-key cool.” In addition to tallying over 1 billion total streams, he delivered a series of unforgettable performances on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, Wendy Williams, The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Live with Kelly and Ryan, Good Morning America, and more.
