Harnessing layered experimental electronic sounds, London based BODUR celebrates the beauty of her mixed heritage on her love letter to women of colour with ‘GORGEOUS’. The stellar debut single marks the rebirth of the artist’s previous work as Chloe Bodur and represents an exciting foray into a new sonic soundscape that fuses traditional Middle Eastern and South Asian instrumentation with modern electronic production.
Fans of contemporaries such as FKA Twigs will resonate strongly with her new innovative sound, emanating quiet confidence and a celebration of femme identity. In her own words:
“GORGEOUS defines what’s expected of a girl from my background, learning to love myself and my heritage. Every line questions what it means to be “home”. I have a constant feeling of wanting full acceptance from my Turkish and Sri Lankan roots without settling into one binary identity. It’s all about accepting the middle space, defying what’s expected of you, and loving yourself despite the barriers we’ve faced.” ~ BODUR
