Hailing from Kansas City, KS, and living in the electric energy of Los Angeles, Mitchell infuses his life as a loving husband, proud father, and philanthropy sake into his music. "Highest Wave 2" isn't simply a song — it's an embodiment of the way he tries to live his life, with intention, creativity, and striving to be the best in everything he does. The track is hypnotic, yet full of emotional complexity, and can be challenging to listen to passively. It's a track that rewards repeated listens, revealing new textures and nuances with each play.
Sound-wise, the production is a nice blend of mellow R&B grooves and understated trap drum programming, resulting in a modern, polished sound that doesn't come off as overcooked.

And it's this combination of authenticity and artistry that sets him apart, allowing him to connect with listeners on a deeper level, beyond just the superficial aspects of melody or rhythm.
Brandon's music feels like an extension of his life outside the studio. His commitment to family, community, and meaningful living is the pulse of his artistry. The song becomes a window into the mind of an artist working to make a difference and make music that does too. For those of us craving a single that sustains a mellow, feel-good groove while telling a good story, "Highest Wave 2" is Brandon Mitchell's new best, the sort that achieves the relaxing vibes we miss but would never think to compromise meaning for.
