Pop visionary BONZIE has released her new single and video ‘The Point Of No Return’ alongside the announcement of her fourth studio album When I Found The Trap Door, due out October 18. A minimalist, storytelling record that further expands BONZIE’s singular artistry and uncompromising originality, When I Found The Trap Door is her most impressive and vulnerable work to date. Evocative lead single ‘The Point Of No Return’ is a delicate, intricately layered soundscape that arrives accompanied by an offbeat music video directed by Jasper Soloff (Tinashe, Tate McRae).
“‘The Point Of No Return’ was a song I wrote right before moving to another city,” BONZIE shares on the new single. “It’s a song about letting go, and relinquishing care about the little things, but also holding onto the people most essential. Producing it was fun because I always envisioned handclaps and little texturized percussion instead of traditional drums. Creating the feedback swells and recording the electric guitar in my apartment was satisfying.”
Produced and written solely by BONZIE and mixed with the help of multi-GRAMMY winning Michael Brauer (Coldplay, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan), When I Found The Trap Door stands as a testament to BONZIE’s unwavering artistry and marks a significant milestone in her career, which began with her debut album at the age of 15.
“This album feels like a culmination of all the knowledge I’ve gained through years, and the tools I’ve developed through observing all the incredible people I’ve worked with,” shares BONZIE. “It was the most challenging thing I’ve ever done, but it was so satisfying to be in a constant state of learning and growing and getting better.”
