I last posted about Bonzai in my September 2015 selections with the release of her debut single ‘KBG (Knicker Bocker Glory)’ via Mura Masa’s label, Anchor Point. Since then, the 20-year-old Indiana-born, Dublin-raised producer/vocalist has gone from strength to strength having toured and collaborated with Mura Masa, joined Flume on tour across Europe and released 3 EP’s. (Sleepy Hungry, Lunacy and Royal)
Her latest single ‘I Feel Alright’ serves up a playful melody, with quirky electro production and an eclectic fusion of styles throughout. The track premiered as Annie Mac’s Hottest record where Bonzai spoke about the inspiration and tone for her new track:
“Start of the year I went to Cuba. I came back and wasn’t really feeling as dark. So thought we’d put some happy chords in and feel a bit better about life…It’s all a bit happier now. Let’s get some happiness in here.“
Bonzai teamed with up with good friend and producer Mura Masa to write the single after a successful ‘writing camp’ in the countryside, with Bonzai later repaying the favour and featuring on Mura Masa’s recent single ‘Nuggets‘. Upcoming dates for Bonzai include Secret Garden Party (July 20-23)
