Sam Drysdale Shares New Single ‘Bonnie’
Canadian singer-songwriter Sam Drysdale is back with his brand new single Bonnie, an infectious folk/indie-pop song taken from his forthcoming EP, Bonnie's Sad Songs.
Out now on Slaight Music, Bonnie finds the talented artist stripping things back to the core of his songwriting, channelling raw emotionality from his potent lyrics and intimate melodies. I am a massive fan of his voice and how powerful and passionate it is, with that raspy touch effortlessly enhancing the emotion pouring from his heartfelt delivery. Inspired by Bonnie Parker, in particular The Highway Men about the two Texas Rangers that hunted Bonnie & Clyde, Bonnie is written from Clyde's perspective and is packed with raw soul and emotion from start to finish. Backing his gorgeous vocals and storytelling, we have memorable acoustic guitar-based melodies, lovely harmonies, steady percussive elements and whistling that create an overall warm, intimate atmosphere perfect for the weekend. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, Sam Drysdale said,
That film really highlighted Bonnie’s role as the principal antagonist in their whole story. I loved the idea of writing a song from Clyde’s perspective as he followed around this beautiful, evil woman that he loved. Even if it killed him.
