Bobi Andonov Releases Funky New Single, “Between the Lines”

Bobi Andonov has floored me with his latest single “Between the Lines.” It’s bold and sexy, with some of the best falsetto you’re likely to hear from a modern artist. I can definitely hear a Prince influence shining through those passionate vocals and funky guitar licks, but as a major fan of the Purple One I appreciate the nod to his genius.

“This was one of the initial compositions within the project, marking the inception of the ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ trilogy. While numerous songs delve into two-person relationships, be they love affairs or tumultuous scandals, we aimed to craft a narrative portraying an intensely complex relationship with oneself. Such internal dynamics can prove to be the most disastrous, co-dependent and damaging relationship that any individual must navigate,” Bobi explained. “Drawing inspiration from artists like Jai Paul, Dijon, Blood Orange, as well as the funk sounds of David Bowie and Prince, this groundbreaking experiment laid the groundwork for some of the core elements of the entire project.”

Ready to hear the rest of the project? You don’t have too long to wait. Bobi will release his EP, SAINT, on May 9.

Bobi Andonov Impresses With “Anymore”

Naarm/Melbourne-born and LA-based artist Bobi Andonov has given me chills with his latest release, “Anymore.” His incredible voice wows from the first note, but it’s also an incredible well-crafted pop song. Can you believe he’s never released music using his falsetto before? He’s out here sounding like the love child of Prince and D’Angelo, yet someone managing to avoid being derivative. I’m impressed.

“It was the song that I needed to write. It sucks to love someone whose reasons for your relationship are so much more casual and self-serving than your own needs. The chorus lyric ‘I just can’t do this anymore’, was of those things I always wanted to say but couldn’t,” Bobi admitted. “I wanted to explore a complex, ambiguous, and even poetic lyric with the feel of a Bee Gees like stacked melody, thrown into a stripped, alt/bedroom mix. I loved the exercise of writing an entire hook in high, falsetto harmony. I like the contrast between that and the rougher part of my voice”.

“Anymore” comes from Bobi’s sophomore EP SAINT, which drops on May 9.

Bobi Andonov’s Viral Song “War is Love” Now an Official Single

Bobi Andonov’s new track “War is Love” has already gone viral with more than 8 million views on YouTube and 4 million views on TikTok, but it’s finally getting an official release. If you’re not already across it, you’ll want to listen to this beautiful ballad.

Bobi’s got a musical theatre background (he played Young Simba in The Lion King in Naarm/Melbourne and Shanghai), and that definitely comes through in this track. It’s unashamedly emotional and so powerful. Not bad for a song penned when he was just 18. Rest assured, this young talent is going places.
