Broods Perform A Brilliant 1 Mic, 1 Take Live Version Of Breakthrough Hit “Bridges”: Idolator Premiere

Broods is the latest act to take part in Capitol Records’ 1 Mic, 1 Take video series, which challenges an artist to deliver a stripped-back, acoustic performance of a recent hit. Georgia Nott (brother Caleb remains off camera) more than rises to the occasion with an exquisite interpretation of breakthrough hit “Bridges” — transforming the already melancholy pop song into a wonderfully miserable ballad.

The performance puts the focus squarely on the Kiwi’s expressive voice and the quality of the duo’s songwriting, which should give you a whole new appreciation for New Zealand’s latest pop export. The talented siblings recently released their debut LP Evergreen, which has been met with near universal praise. Watch Broods’ awesome take on “Bridges” up top.
