Copper Lungs, the Dundee-based pop-rock band, are kicking off 2025 with the title track from their upcoming album, Broken Beautiful, giving us a glimpse into what’s shaping up to be their most personal project yet.
Broken Beautiful, which dropped on the 21st of February, sounds like a reflection of where Copper Lungs are now as a band. The song serves as the emotional anchor for the album, with frontman and songwriter Darren describing it as the missing piece that brought everything together. It’s clear that this track means a lot to the band, and it’s easy to see why since the song delivers a beautiful mix of vulnerability and power.
This new single starts with a driving rhythm and blazing guitars that immediately grab your attention. It’s an energetic opening, but as the song unfolds, it surprises us with its ability to switch gears. Lyrically, Broken Beautiful is all about embracing the messy, complicated nature of life. It’s about accepting the beauty in brokenness, the joy in pain, and finding peace in the struggle. It invites us to reflect on the highs and lows of existence and find a way to appreciate it all, because, in the end, it’s all part of what makes life precious.
The production is rich and layered, with synths that add depth without overwhelming the sound. The guitars carry a raw energy, but there’s a polish to the track that speaks to the band’s growth. Broken Beautiful is a perfect example of how Copper Lungs have evolved since their comeback.
As the band continues to build on this momentum, it’s clear that 2025 is shaping up to be a big year for them. If you haven’t already, now is definitely the time to keep an eye on Copper Lungs!
