Sometimes it takes a few songs, or an album (or two) to become a fan of someone, but when I heard Bonbon Anglais’ “All Along” back in May, I became a fan immediately. All that was left to do was wait for more…
Now, the mysterious crooner returns with a new single in “Not 4 Me” and confirms what I suspected after “All Along.” He is special. Yet again, he showcases his ability to cover a topic that you wouldn’t expect considering the warm, inviting feel of his song. A danceable effort, built around a tropical, almost hypnotic vibe, “Not 4 Me” gets your body moving before you even realize that–with lines like “What goes up must come down”– Anglais has created a break-up ready cut.
I may not know who he is, or where he’s from, but thanks to his exotic boardwork, his unique vocals, and a sharp pen, I’m all in on Bonbon Anglais.
