Brooklyn Michelle Turns the Tables with Funky Pop Anthem “Coulda Shoulda Woulda”

Brooklyn Michelle, the San Antonio-based pop artist, has returned with her latest single “Coulda Shoulda Woulda,” a groove-laden track that’s packed with empowerment and sharp wit. The multi-hyphenate talent — singer, producer, engineer, video producer, and visual artist — continues to blur creative boundaries, fully embracing her DIY ethos and hands-on approach to her craft. She’s not just delivering music, she’s shaping an artistic vision from every angle.

After five years in the industry, Brooklyn Michelle has built a sound that reflects both her roots and her eclectic creative palette. With milestones like collaborating with rapper Mick Jenkins and headlining major events such as the Texas Fashion Awards and San Antonio’s buzzing new venue, Stable Hall, her journey has been nothing short of impressive. Her latest single, “Coulda Shoulda Woulda,” is another bold step forward, merging her talents into an energetic anthem about reclaiming power.

Describing her sound, Brooklyn draws a parallel between her funky, bass-heavy production and modern pop icons, likening this track to a fusion of Dua Lipa’s vocal charisma with Anderson .Paak’s rhythmic groove. “Coulda Shoulda Woulda” plays on rich basslines, live drums, and snappy, soulful vocals, channeling the frustration and triumph that come with leaving behind a toxic “situationship.”

“This song is about saying no more to that ‘situationship’ every girl unfortunately finds herself in,” Brooklyn explains. The song flips the narrative, as she confidently calls out her suitor’s indecision. Lyrics like “Mr. Pick of the Litter, he been around” deliver biting commentary, while the chorus hammers home her refusal to be strung along: “I’m not your baby, baby!”

The accompanying music video, shot at Noir Studios in Houston, Texas, was a testament to Brooklyn’s relentless work ethic. Despite a tight budget and shooting window of under three hours, Brooklyn and her small two-person team managed to execute the entire production with a blend of careful planning and on-the-spot improvisation. The result is a visual that perfectly complements the song’s spunky, carefree energy. True to form, Brooklyn took on the editing and color grading herself, further proving her all-encompassing role in her creative output.

From the funky beats to the empowering lyrics, “Coulda Shoulda Woulda” marks Brooklyn Michelle as an artist who not only masters her sound but also knows how to tell a story that resonates. With each release, Brooklyn continues to elevate her craft and redefine what it means to be an independent artist in today’s music scene.
