Hailing from Seattle, the alternative R&B and soul band Heavy Bloom has been steadily crafting their mesmerising sound since starting out in a one-bedroom apartment on the north end of Capitol Hill. The quintet features the talents of Jeanie on vocals, Demarcus on guitar, Cory on bass, Jacob on keys and Joji on drums who together combine to deliver a truly original sonic output.
The band first started to take shape when Jeanie and Joji’s collaborated on their first song, “Fig,” during their time with the outfit Hard Maybe. Over the years, they expanded their lineup and developed their sound, resulting in the formation of Heavy Bloom.
Heavy Bloom’s music is a slick blend of R&B, soul and pop-focused songwriting, creating an experience that’s once accessible and cutting edge. Their unique approach to music production has connected with a diverse audience, offering comfort and innovation in equal measure. Making their entrance with “Fig” at the start of last year, sophomore track “No Matter What” and a remix of their first track followed before they dropped their debut eponymous EP in October.
This year they returned to continue their creative momentum with the track “SPACE” and now bring us their latest outing with the brand new single titled “PROOF.” The song new thematically revolves around personal and relational evolution while exploring the intricate dynamics of getting to know different versions of a partner and oneself as the relationship matures. It captures the feeling trapped in older forms of the self while yearning for a path forward that allows both individuals to grow independently.
Immediately hopping with a bouncy rhythm of shuffling drums, grooving bass guitar lines and bright instrumental stabs, Jeanie’s silky vocals flutter above the buoyant arrangement carrying catchy hooks. Flowing with intricate guitar licks and splashing percussion, the track takes of a soulful indie rock sound capped by infectious pop leads and tinged with disco vibes that builds to a mesmerising finale led by dancing clean guitar solo work.
Once again serving up a danceable jam brought to life by exquisite musicianship and sensational vocal performance, “PROOF” sees Heavy Bloom flex their songwriting and performance talents to deliver an intoxicating sound that’s sure to win over fans around the world. Instantly memorable and highly enjoyable from start to finish, it’s another incredible display of their original sound and knack for bringing it to life in a dazzling fashion. As they continue to go from strength to strength with each move, we can’t wait to see what Heavy Bloom has in store next.
