Heavy Bloom is an alternative R&B and soul band hailing from Seattle that started crafting their mesmerising sound in a a one-bedroom apartment on the north end of Capitol Hill. Led by the vocals of Jeanie, the band is rounded out by Demarcus on guitar, Cory on bass, Jacob on keys and drummer Joji. Their journey began with Joji and Jeanie collaborating on their first song, “Fig,” during their time with the outfit Hard Maybe. As the years passed, they expanded their lineup and developed their sound, resulting in the formation of Heavy Bloom.
The quintet’s music blends elements of R&B, soul and pop, creating a sound that’s at once familiar and entirely new. Their approach to music production appeals to a diverse audience, drawing in listeners who seek both comfort and innovation in their music.
First unveiling the Heavy Bloom sound to the world via their debut single “Fig” at the start of last year, they followed up with sophomore track “No Matter What” and a remix of their first song before dropping their debut eponymous EP in October. Now they’re back and bring us their latest release with their brand new single titled “SPACE.”
Setting an elegant piano with the delicate flutter of piano notes, gently tumbling into a mellow groove as Jeanie’s soulful voice hover above to spin dreamy melodies carrying heartfelt lyricism. As her voice dances, the full band sound enters with lush backing vocals, the laid back snap of drums, guitar chords and warm organ stretches, resulting in an enchanting alternative R&B vibe that softly rises in energy to form a dazzling musical fabric that wraps around you.
With subtle impact from the rhythmic stabs punching through the shimmering arrangement as Jeanie’s spectacular vocal performance carries the song through shifting moods, the song switches into a gripping story of two lovers grappling with the complexities of their relationship
Peppered with intricate lead flourishes from the guitar, piano and organ while splashy drum fills inject smooth movement, “SPACE” is a stunning display of the band’s songwriting talent and sensational musicianship flair. From start to finish it presents a charming listening experience that’s impossible not to love as Heavy Bloom continue to offer more of their enthralling musical world.
