Under The Radar premieres “Hollywood”
Major music magazine Under The Radar has premiered the third and final single off of BONZIE’s forthcoming album, When I Found The Trap Door, “Hollywood“.
Under The Radar writes about the song:
“Hollywood” is a winding portrait of the falsity and competition in the entertainment business, delivered via a simmering jazz ballad. Although the track tones down the glitz and glamor usually associated with show business, the meditative keys do have a gentle luminous glow to them, bolstered by the sprawling jazz drumming. Meanwhile, BONZIE’s vocals are glassy and immaculate, encapsulating the effortless beauty of Old Hollywood. Yet, this crystalline vocal performance takes on a different tone later in the track. The piano drifts into a lurching, discordant interlude before settling back into a vacant, placid sheen, all as BONZIE’s lyrics offer a sinister warning: In Hollywood / You can die / You can try / Be one of the guys / Be one of The Greats / Whatever it takes.”
