Breymer’s When I Get Through is a bold, deeply personal album that explores their journey with gender identity while blending raw lyricism, rich instrumentation, and evocative harmonies.
Breymer, the Minnesota-born singer-songwriter known also as Sarah Walk (she/they), releases their powerful new album When I Get Through. This record is not just a musical endeavor, it's a deeply personal exploration of Breymer’s journey with gender identity, centered around their experience undergoing top surgery.
With Grammy-nominated Tyler Chester (Sara Watkins, Switchfoot) helming the production, When I Get Through thrives on rich instrumentation and stark, unfiltered lyricism. Breymer’s vocal performance, layered with harmonies, poses existential questions like “Am I better now?” and “Who am I?” - turning the album into an internal dialogue that will resonate with anyone on a path of self-discovery. The songs flow between raw self-reflection and moments of transformation, capturing Breymer’s journey with a depth that feels both intimate and universal.
Discussing their choice to change their artist name, Breymer reveals, “This album feels transformative to me. I needed a separation between my personal and artist selves, and Breymer - my middle name - felt androgynous, uncommon, and fitting for this new chapter.” Bold and unapologetically gender non-conforming, the name encapsulates everything the album represents: agency, intentionality, and embracing change.
Through candid songwriting and fearless insight, When I Get Through is an ideal companion piece for those seeking authenticity and self-acceptance, crafted with the kind of courage only Breymer can offer.
