Ex-I Prevail Frontman Brian Burkheiser's Solo Project Scatterbrain Premieres Taylor Swift Cover

Ex-I Prevail frontman Brian Burkheiser has officially unveiled his new solo venture, Scatterbrain. The project arrives after some early turbulence, having initially been entangled in a dispute with his former bandmates in the platinum-certified melodic metalcore outfit. Leading the charge is a metal reimagining of Taylor Swift’s 2017 hit “Look What You Made Me Do,” complete with a music video helmed by director Ben Proulx.

Burkheiser and I Prevail went their separate ways this past May. In the months since, he has doubled down on his advocacy for mental health, openly discussing his own struggles throughout the year as he worked to bring this new project to life.

Speaking on finally getting Scatterbrain into motion, Burkheiser offered:

“To my fans:

This year forced me to pivot in ways I never expected, and it tested me more than I can explain. But through it all, your support has meant everything.

I’m excited to finally share a song with you. I chose this cover because it truly resonates with me and serves as a nod to what first sparked my career.

I’m still working toward the day I can release my original music, but for now, I’m grateful to have found a way to put a piece of art into the world.”
