Brooke Combe

Brooke Combe is a Scottish singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, best known for her 2025 breakthrough album Dancing at the Edge of the World.

Career Early life Combe grew up in Dalkeith, a small town near Edinburgh, Scotland, playing instruments from a young age. Raised on her grandparents' collection of classic Motown albums, as well as the '90s neo-soul and R&B loved by her parents, she began to branch out to rock music at 17 and was encouraged by her school music teacher to develop her vocals and to study music at university. She would later sign to major-label Island Records, appeared at the Glastonbury Festival in 2022, and released 2023 mixtape Black is the New Gold, which "explored oppression and ideas of typical femininity through the lens of a tender homage to her Black roots."

2025-present: Dancing at the Edge of the World In 2025, after her stint on Island Records, Combe independently released Northern soul-influenced debut album Dancing at the Edge of the World to acclaim. In a review for music publication Clash, writer Robin Murray praised the project as an "absolute stormer – vintage styled soul that feels totally refreshing... Combe isn't satisfied with retreading old ground, instead finding her own unique place within an R&B lineage."
