Would-be Indie rock track with a bass line and BVs that wouldn't let it be as straight forward a that... The third in three Spring singles for 2023.

The Limitation Of Words.

“The Last Light Left in Me” is a hauntingly beautiful piano ballad about love, loss, and memory — written with the poetic depth of Bernie Taupin’s storytelling and the cinematic emotion of Madman Records. The song drifts through the quiet aftermath of heartbreak, where a single golden light still burns in an empty room. Gentle piano, strings, and aching vocals capture the weight of what’s gone — yet shimmer with grace, remembrance, and the faint hope that love never truly dies.

I’m Michael Woltmann — producer, songwriter, and the mind behind the MUTEFUSE philosophy. I defined the luxury-rap sound of the late ’90s and early 2000s, and there are maybe a couple 100 people on the planet who can do what I do.

150+ original tracks. Every genre. Every emotion.
Global team of artists. Two degrees. A lifetime of experience.  This is my back catalog of 25 years. 

I don’t chase trends. I chase the feeling.

Press play. Feel something real.

Brave New Broken Hearts Club is the vehicle for north London born songwriter and producer Neil Phillimore.  Neil’s writing and producing skills for many years were put to use running a not-for-profit organisation, songwriting and recording for the wellbeing and mentoring of youth. The origins of his own creative project were simply the exercising of that same power of creativity for the sake of wellbeing in his own life, when confronted with the disappointment of having to stop the popular one-to-one sessions due to lack of funding.

 A sniffter of Billy Bragg’s London vocal styling; the tiniest pinch of Damon Albarn’s lower register; a dash of Richard Hawley croon; a glug of classic songwriting aesthetic and you’re in the ballpark - sometimes erring more towards the acoustic styling of a Nick Mulvey Type and sometimes more towards the indie pop/rock of guitar acts like Inhaler or Sam Fender. Brave New Broken Hearts Club songs are lyrically intelligent, emotionally rich; hopeful, warm and heartfelt.

After the release of Not What We Call Love in 2021 Brave New Broken Hearts Club set about a national house-gig tour taking in homes across the UK from Harlow to Sheffield via Wales. April 2022 saw the reprise of this intimate and personal approach to touring with a further ten date tour capped off finally with 2 beautifully intimate headlining shows  in the beautiful upstairs room of Islington’s finest public house- The Hemmingford Arms.

2022 brought with it four singles  A Little Piece Of Me , All I Have is Now, Higher and Beauty

February of 2023 saw his biggest gigs to date in two beautiful ancient old church buildings in South Wales and Wiltshire. The month ended with an intimate show back up in Sheffield where he and close friend  Peckham folk singer Pearl Fish sold out the renown acoustic venue Cafe#9.

Brave New Broken Hearts Club lyrics are thoughtful and smart, and extend the usual lexicon of the modern songwriter elegantly and unselfconsciously - they are quite unique. That uniqueness extends to his vocal style too, provoking music blog European Indie Music Network to comment ‘An obviously English voice, genuinely like no other artist you've ever heard.’ 

Despite largely drawing on lessons learned in dark times Brave New broken Hearts Club’s songs are stridently and unabashedly hopeful. Often simple production, leaves room for  the intelligent lyrics and for the now familiar authenticity and vulnerability of a Brave New Broken Hearts Club vocal.
