Bom-C - Lonely

Lonely - Bom-C (R&B) Bom-C arrives with “Lonely” just in time for sunny weather. “Lonely” is surely a beach/island jam with an afrobeat sensibility and Top 40 crossover appeal. The record is a perfect example of that winning combo of a melancholy subject matter and a dancey groove, resulting in quite a hip winder of a song. Boasting with song of the summer appeal, we see this track as a natural evolution of retro cuts like Justin Bieber “Sorry” and Wayne Wonder “No Letting Go.” Our favorite part of the production, however, are Bom-C’s harmonies in the wall of background vocals that help fill out the sharp instrumental, elevating the entire affair to hit record status. This is one we’ll be jamming to all summer long.

Best Lyric: “Tears in my eye, I’m losing my mind.”
