When an artist decides to take a break from their career, it’s usually for a good reason, maybe even one that average people could never understand. Sometimes an artist will feel overwhelmed or decide that they need some personal time to themselves to regroup from whatever situation they may be coming out of. For whatever reason it might be, the absence of an artist usually stirs up some kind of anticipation for their return, partially because everyone is waiting to hear what the artist has to say and if they will explain what brought about their temporary departure. What I like most about an artist returning after their exit is the chance to see or hear what improvements they may or may not have made. Artists are ever evolving and when they take a long break, it’s almost certain that they have gone through a big change in their art.
It’s been two years since we last heard from the elegant Brittany Bosco, now going strictly by Bosco. With her last soulful/funky album Spectrum 2.0, she left us with something to look forward to and with her new EP Pacer, the wait was well worth it. With the release of the single “Pacer,” we could already see that the artist had something new in store for us. Those of us who are used to her soulful, jazzy tunes will be quite surprised as her new EP steers clear of that pigeonhole. Think of it as taking a Bosco tour into outer space as her new EP, mostly produced by Washed Out producer DOGBITE, has an ethereal vibe that leaves you feeling as if you are on an extraterrestrial journey through space and time and Bosco is your guide.
The six song EP ranges from soft melodies found on “King of the Land” and the title track to the slightly aggressive “Beauty & The Stone” and “Needled Heart.” Along with the EP is also a video for her song “Baby” which was shot by Simms Media. The video illuminates Bosco’s romantic side as she carries a red paper heart in her back pocket waiting to give it to her love interest. It’s a cute video with a little dance choreograph featuring fashion designer Oni Espada and her close friend Ashley.
Whether you are laying on the beach with the water rushing up against your feet or simply coming home from a long day at work looking to chill out and relax from the problems of your day, you’ll find a good reason to listen to Bosco’s new EP Pacer. It’s good music along with good vocals that no true music connoisseur can deny. After waiting two years, Bosco has given us a taste of her new experiences and new sound beautifully exemplified in her new EP. One can only anticipate what the artist has in store for her next project.
