I have decided that I am going to start picking out my favorite songs from each week and share it all with you and my thoughts. So without further adieu, I give you my first song of the week: Torn by Bonnie x Clyde and PURGE.
Bonnie x Clyde is one of my favorite up and coming artists due to the raw energy and power you feel in their songs and live shows. Bonnie's gorgeous yet chilling vocals go hand in hand with their heavy. driven bass creating what can only be described as vocal dubstep/trap. Bonnie x Clyde have been blowing up the past year making huge moves playing more shows and festival that I can count. They also released the Wanted EP earlier this year and it is definitely worth a listen.
Purge is a dark bass superstar duo that emerged quickly with their dark and deep bass that has had releases on OWLSA, Bitbird, and Nest HQ. They are an amazingly powerful duo that bends the lines of genre and makes music that gives you the goosebumps and the headbanging all within the span of a few minutes.
The song starts in a solum quieter toon and suddenly the vocals come in, right in the front and undeniably enchanting. The back tune of Torn has some weird and cool sounds going on which helps the song build. There isn't a drop but more of a pause then a continuation of the bass line driving the song until it returns to a lull. The vocals pick back up as Bonnie lyrics lead us to believe that she is feeling freer than before, and with the bass keeping a low yet heavy profile, it allows for the other unique sounds, including the vocals, to have more of an impact and stand out. The song is great with a different flow from other musicians and the vocals make the song into a powerful message.
"We all deal with the feeling of being torn in some way or another. Torn is about expressing your true, raw feelings & coming to terms with them. Understanding it's ok to need help & to not be ok all the time." – BonnieXClyde
