Her Music Career Failed To Take Off, And Was Put On Hold
In 2005, Brie Larson, at the age of 16, unveiled her musical talents by releasing her debut album, Finally Out of P.E., under the record label Casablanca. The album showcased her as a pop-rock artist with a youthful, catchy sound. The songs often revolved around themes related to teenage experiences, making it relatable to her peers at the time.
Critics' opinions on the album were mixed, reflecting the challenges that often accompany a career shift. While some praised her vocal abilities and the album's catchy tunes, others were more reserved in their judgment.
In an interview, Larson said, "I think that I write about stuff that others don't write about. I don't have a bunch of love songs cuz I don't really have much boy experience. I just write about what I am actually going through in my real life. That's where the title from my album comes from - Finally out of P.E. My P.E. teacher didn't like me at all, which was hard to deal with cuz I was usually such a teachers' pet. So when I found out I got my record deal, I was like, 'Yes, I'm finally out of P.E.'"
