BONZIE - When I Found The Trap Door (2024) [Hi-Res]

The latest album from BONZIE, When I Found The Trap Door affirms her as the rare pop visionary with the power to transform our perception of the world. Since releasing her debut project at age 15, the Chicago-bred singer/songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist has reached an extraordinary level of success for an independent musician, including earning an abundant stream of critical acclaim from leading outlets like The New York Times and NPR. Fully produced by BONZIE—who also served as the sole writer on every song and played a variety of instruments throughout the album—When I Found The Trap Door further expands her singular artistry and mines inspiration from such eclectic sources as the psychedelic sci-fi of Satoshi Kon’s Paprika and the elemental folk/blues of guitarist Elizabeth Cotten. The result: a body of work that provides a welcome rupture from the confines of reality, inviting both illuminating contemplation and absolute surrender.
