Brazilian artist and songwriter Thiago Tolentino, known to the realm as Bōnd Of Endless Tree and currently based in Los Angeles, recently launched his third single Drop; a release securing his creative versatility for its redirection and ambient warmth as much so as its beautifully poetic intentions.
Essentially fusing genres with fearless commitment to the artistry of its idea, Drop depicts an electro-pop softness at first, but with a clear sense of rising anticipation. On occasion, the vocal passion rises so high that it seems fit to peak as a pop-punk anthemic explosion. However, Thiago maintains control at all times, meandering through these expressive and evocative depths amidst an ever-evolving soundscape, to ultimately carve out a fresh lane.
Beautifully original, familiar but unusual in everything from lyric to production, Drop reinforces the musical exploration at the heart of all things Bōnd Of Endless Tree. It’s a mighty and addictively emotive single, loaded with quiet lows and impassioned highs, and ultimately focuses on self-empowerment in the face of struggle and uncertainty. That energy and idea resounds both through the lyrics and the impressively captivating performance from Thiago.
