Who Are You

Braxton Cook’s new album, Who Are You When No One is Watching?, showcases his depth as an artist. Already named to OkayPlayer’s “23 Albums OkayPlayer Can’t Wait to Hear in 2023” and BET’s “Most Anticipated Albums of 2023,” the album features elegant, saxophone-driven instrumental tracks like “Indie” and smooth, progressive R&B songs like “90s” feat. Masego. Listeners will realize themes of love and relationships throughout the album, juxtaposed with songs inspired by the journey of an independent artist and the everyday violence and struggles Black men and women face in America. This body of work is a strong statement reflective of Braxton’s life experience and inspirations.

This album was in production for almost a year and is a sort of a continuation of my last album, as it explores similar themes (although this time with words) of what it means to be human. Each song has its own subject that is in one way or another very personal to me, but I hope that whoever listens connects with them as well. This was also a production leap for me as I learned some important techniques that made me a better producer. We never stop learning, though… Hope you find inspiration in this. Thank you for listening!
