(mercedes) by Bonze: Review
This artist previously worked as an A&R, a guest writer, and a top-line artist and his experiences stretch back more than a decade. As he said himself, โI love combining organic sounds with electronic production.โย That is exactly what this song is.
Bonze captures the essence of loneliness and hopelessness perfectly as he lets the music build up from a few simple notes to an assortment of ethereal synths and the electronic drum beats laying the foundation of the song. His transparent lyricism provides a personal look into his mind and heart as the first lines of the song instantly capture a fear everyone has had at some point โ uncertainty.
The layering of harmonies and gradual incline of musical instruments allow the song to drive your emotions. Towards the end of the song, everything fades with only his voice remaining as the beat drops and the electronic, groovy wave washes over you and leaves again. Ultimately, ending the song with just his soulful voice and the weight of his words.ย
The fluctuating incline and decline of the song provide a symbolic representation of what anxiety must feel like. Heavy bass, echoes of background vocals, and the disappearance of everything until nothing is left except for one single voice. It comes and goes like a wave and Bonze captures that feeling perfectly with his brilliant composition and relatable lyrics.
