**Mild language warning**
Brooke Taylor is an alt-country singer, songwriter and guitarist from Melbourne who released her debut album It’s the Little Things in 2020. Her second album, There’s Magic in Mistakes, is not long out in the world. It is by turns pragmatic and joyful, wry and compassionate, and at its core is Taylor's inherent ability to entertain and be present in her music.
As I found out when Taylor and I spoke recently, several songs on the album came together quickly, and others emerged more organically through experimentation. And not all songs are new: 'A Thousand Kisses' predates It's the Little Things. Taylor worked with producer Damian Cafarella, who also produced her first album, and her band The Poison Spitting Gin Queens.
We also talked about her new project The Deserters, in which she collaborates with fellow Melburnian Delsinki, with an album potentially slated for release by end of this year.
Taylor's vim, vigour and verve were as evident in our conversation as they are on her album; she is a creative force surely making magic, whether it's from mistakes or simply from embracing music as her path and conjuring as she goes along it.
