Brie Stoner’s “Loved Me Like A Weapon” Offers an Ode to Escaping Gaslighting Relationships

Brie Stoner’s latest single, “Loved Me Like A Weapon,” is a haunting melody that speaks to the agony of escaping gaslit relationships. Over a dreamy soundscape of synths, rolling guitars, and muted drums, Stoner laments the futility of trying to make things work in a relationship where she has been devalued and her instincts questioned.

The music video for “Loved Me Like A Weapon,” co-directed by Logan Zilmer, shows Stoner as a hired assassin trying to escape the blackmail of her handlers. She attempts to deceive her way out but ends up a victim of an attempt on her life, falling and bleeding out in the hall of mirrors of her mind.

Stoner’s bilingual songwriting style and unique sonic sensibility shine through in “Loved Me Like A Weapon,” offering a glimpse into her upcoming album, Me Veo. Produced by David VanderVelde (Father John Misty), the album promises to be a sultry and finessed expression of precious human experiences that certifies Stoner as a master craftswoman and a harbinger of hope for creative transcendence.
