With a viral hit, nowadays, artists can get signed and thrust into the spotlight before they are ready. Sometimes however an artist enters fully ready to take on the challenges that come their way.
Saint Bodhi is one of those artists.
With no official releases to her name (though she has been cutting her teeth as a songwriter), Bodhi has already inked a deal with Def Jam. Emerging almost out of thin air, the signing may raise an eye, but one listen to “FlowerChild,” it’s clear why she was inked to a deal. Straight out of the gate, she brings a unique, refined sound and the confidence to match.
Even with a mellow bounce and colorful twinges, “FlowrChild” maintains a gritty feel thanks to her vivid storytelling and the throwback, boom-bap-inspired production. She doesn’t hide behind the track either, taking center stage in the visuals, Bodhi showcases the confidence and the commanding presence of a veteran.
An impressive first offering, Bodhi scoffs at the notion of artist development; sometimes an artist enters fully developed.
