Open Up Your Heart arrives like morning light finding the one curtain you forgot to close. Crimson99 may be a newcomer, but there is already a little heart beating behind every choice. The Montreal artist, born Maria Brousseau-Labbé, folds dream pop, alternative rock, and soul into a gentle argument for staying present through pain. Her delivery carries intimacy without shrinking from power. Recorded live with producer Koko Love, the song values emotional movement more than mechanical perfection. Maria describes the temptation, and the way through it, with striking clarity:

'Open Up Your Heart' is about the desire to backslide. It's about missing things from your past that never truly served you but felt good in the moment. This song is also a reminder that, as the great Sam Cooke said: 'A change gon' come, oh yes it will.' You won't always be hurting, and you won't always feel alone, but often, if not always, the only way out is through, and you need the right attitude to make it to the other side.

That instinct anchors Daredevil, her five-track debut EP arriving October 2. Its themes of spirituality, identity, and self-discovery feel personal without closing the door on anyone else. The project was recorded in a single day, leaving breaths, unconventional structures, and human edges intact. Open the door, bring your imperfect history with you, and give this tender newcomer enough room to surprise you. Listen to "Open Up Your Heart," explore Crimson99 through INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, and BANDCAMP.
