I don't really know how to begin to tell you about Bo.
You might remember, I went to see her play over the summer, in a tiny venue in Islington, and it was just one of the most magical nights I've experienced. It sort of changed my life. That sounds very teenage girlish, very melodramatic, but it did. I still think about it every single day. Bo Bruce is not the typical contestant that emerges from reality TV contests. She writes from the heart, beautifully and honestly. This is not demonstrated more than in "The Fall", a collaboration with Johnny McDaid, which she released today. It is here.
"THE FALL" - Bo Bruce
It's gorgeous, and I was so pleased to see that the studio version of the song isn't much more than the simple piano arrangement it carried when I first heard her play it. Filmed in the woods in Wiltshire, where she grew up, everything about this song is personal, honest and so incredibly brave, and visually, this music video is stunning, the costumes, the forest and the fire are nothing over-clichéd. Her voice, the way she looks and the way she puts across her thoughts into music are beautiful in all ways.
I am so sorry for the lack of eloquence today.
Bo's album is due out early next year and wrapping up recording at the moment. She is working with heroes and friends old and new, including Danny O'Donoghue, Joel Pott, Johnny McDaid, Henry Binns and many more.
And for now, "The Fall" is avaliable for free download, for limited time, here.
