Bearbonez, a singer-songwriter and producer based in California, caught our attention with his new single “Crysknife.” It’s one of those songs that just grabs you from the get-go. You won’t be able to forget its captivating melody, honest lyrics, immaculate production or captivating instrumentation after a single listen. His voice is so deep and controlled throughout this record it’s hypnotizing.
For “Crysknife,” Bearbonez took lyrical inspiration from the “Dune” series — specifically “God Emperor of Dune” — while musically paying homage to David Bowie’s album “Blackstar.” This creates an interesting sci-fi vibe that adds depth and layers to the track. The guitar and synth arrangements are stellar on here too; you can tell he really takes pride in what he does.
With its magnetic appeal and artistic integrity, Bearbonez’ goal of reaching many people through this song should be easily attainable. If you like your music innovative and storytelling-focused then don’t sleep on this single!
