It's not so hard to see me through When you're gone, disorder I do It's not too late to hear me through Cause it's all about you I burn of desire for you You're a flame I'm drawn to And if you play with my fire I swear it won't burn you Cause it's all about you, all around It's all about you, all around It's all about you, all around It's all about you It's not too hard to face the truth When you're gone, I’m somewhere too, It's not about anything new I’m high on you, I’m high on you I burn of desire for you You're a flame I'm drawn to And if you play with my fire I swear it won't burn you Cause it's all about you, all around It's all about you, all around It's all about you, all around It's all about you Cause it's all about you, all around It's all about you, all around It's all about you, all around It's all about you

Ta Couronne 03:47
I am sitting on the bench in the kitchen You are writing on the wall Every move we make is burdensome If only the rain would fall You are counting stars on my nightgown I am putting on your crown Flies are dancing on the ground If only the rain would sound Qu’est-ce que tu dis? Je ne t’entends pas mon Amour qu’est-ce que tu dis, ces maux je n’les comprends pas Qu’est-ce que tu dis? Je ne t’entends pas mon Amour Quelle astrologie tu lis, je n’la connais pas I am sitting on the bench in the kitchen You are writing on the wall Every move we make is burdensome If only the rain would fall You are counting stars on my nightgown I am putting on your crown Flies are dancing on the ground If only the rain would sound Qu’est-ce que tu dis? Je ne t’entends pas mon Amour Qu’est-ce que tu dis, ces maux je n’les comprends pas Qu’est-ce que tu dis? Je ne t’entends pas mon Amour Quelle astrologie tu lis, je n’la connais pas Qu’est-ce que tu dis? Je ne t’entends pas mon Amour Qu’est-ce que tu dis, ces maux je n’les comprends pas Qu’est-ce que tu dis? Je ne t’entends pas mon Amour Quelle astrologie tu lis, je n’la connais pas Mon Amour, Qu’est-ce que tu dis? Demain on y arrivera

Specie protected by society, In a system where convenience rules, It draws a web meticulously, And waits patiently for a fool The Ego God commands, At the center of the ring, There’s no time to dedicate To the Market of Nothing It will show its goods nice counterfeits, Pretty falsehoods to your feet, And when you least expect it, It’s all to throw away, all garbish There’s no break, no time to rest, No limit to overcome, Your God Ego does the rest, No matter who falls in the run The Ego God commands, At the center of the ring, There’s no time to dedicate To the Market of Nothing Black job, no contract, agreement Your word, a signature on the sand Black job, no contract, agreement Your word, a signature on the sand Black job, no contract, agreement Your word, a signature on the sand The Ego God commands, At the center of the ring, There’s no time to dedicate To the Market of Nothing

I have to close the phone I wanna stay on my own I can't stand you more calling or knocking on my door Please let me go And i play with my dog I listen to the radio, I will stay closed up in my room Whatever but not with you I feel like in a cage or a very small box And I don't wanna hurt you but I don't want you anymore Please let me go ! Please let me go And I eat chocolate and I smoke my cigarettes And I eat chocolate and i smoke my cigarettes You’ll find an other brunette to make you, to make you sweat, wet without hate and I eat my chocolate and I smoke my cigarettes ! Please let me go please let me go ‘Cause I don’t want you anymore, please let me go oh, oh, oh, go, go, go, go ! I feel like in a cage or a very small box and I don’t wanna hurt you, But I don’t want yo anymore. Please let me go

So Hard 02:57
Le son des mots que tu n’dis pas J’attends l’écho de ta voix Probablement tellement de choses à lire dans tes yeux Ironiquement, tu sais très bien, Je n'vois pas bien Soudainement ton bouquet de roses chavire et prend feu, Mystérieusement et son parfum ne sent plus rien Le son des mots So hard for you to say, so hard for me to see J’attends l’écho So hard for you to say, so hard for me to see Certainement tu n’as pas grand-chose à dire de joyeux, Inlassablement tu te retiens, tu nous éteins Tu sais très bien je n’vois pas bien pour moi la main guide mon chemin, Mais tu n’dis rien, rien, rien, Mais tu n’fais rien, rien, rien, Je n’vois pas bien J’interprète c’qui traverse dans l’dictionnaire d’mes rêves, Ton silence me brise le coeur, j’veux d’l’essence dans mon moteur, Dans l’couloir noir de notre histoire j’cherche ta voix, j’entends kedale, J’me prends les pieds dans les pétales et ça fait mal, mal, mal So hard for you to say, So hard, So hard for me to see Et tu n’fais rien, rien So hard for you to say, Et tu n’dis rien So hard for me to see, Et ça fait mal, mal, mal So hard for you to say, So hard, So hard for me to see Et tu n’dis rien, rien So hard for you to say, Et tu n’dis rien So hard for me to see, Et ça fait mal, mal, mal So hard for you to say, So hard, So hard for me to see Et tu n’dis rien, rien So hard for you to say, Et tu n’dis rien So hard for me

Des tâches sur ma peau Des tâches sur ma peau Des tâches sur ma peau Est-ce que tu es photosensible? Des tâches sur ma peau Des tâches, des tâches, des tâches sur ma peau Everything is arid, there's nothing around Desert inside not, a tear drop, a sound There’s no shade to repair Horizon to look out Not even the wind to whisper, to blow up the heart No air to breathe My skin is burning My skin is burnin’ Des tâches sur ma peau Est-ce que tu es photosensible? Des tâches sur ma peau Est-ce que tu es hypersensible? Des tâches sur ma peau Est-ce que tu es photosensible? Des tâches sur ma peau Des tâches, des tâches, des tâches sur ma peau Des tâches sur ma peau, Everything is arid, there’s nothin’ around Des tâches sur ma peau, Desert inside, a tear drop, a sound Des tâches sur ma peau, There’s no shade to repair, no horizon to look out Des tâches sur ma peau, Not even the wind to whisper, to blow up the heart Des tâches sur ma peau Est-ce que tu es photosensible?

It doesn't matter where you're from and who's right It doesn't matter who’s gone and who fights You will perceive everything more precise and bright Walking through the corridor of the middle of the city The feeling that this terrible will never end Don't brush, touch or even speak to me The loneliness will be my only remedy, I don't react or let myself go, oh Rage is too sour to swallow I see the sparks but will put out the fuse There goes the man who stands up and leave, I sit down and choose It doesn't matter where you're from and who's right It doesn't matter who’s gone and who fights You will perceive everything more precise and bright After the cognac Sweet and bitter the taste of the soul Reflecting mistakes while my own conviction burns, turns in loop Will I hide the state of my fuzziness in suit ? It doesn't matter where you're from and who's right It doesn't matter who’s gone and who fights You will perceive everything more precise and bright It doesn’t matter who calls and who hides It doesn’t matter who’s wrong and who’s right You will perceive everything more precise and bright After the cognac Sweet and strong the rush of the will of having the right presence, The correct presentation, It's all a blur, swirling into this hurl, What will be the consequence ? I don't really give a damn ! It doesn't matter where you're from and who's right It doesn't matter who’s gone and who fights I will perceive everything more precise and bright It doesn’t matter who calls and who hides It doesn’t matter who’s wrong and who’s right I will perceive everything more precise and bright After the cognac

Stalker 03:34
I’m feeling anxious I don’t know why There’s no particular reason to be stressed out But I am nervous even the sky Here in Paris is filled with heavy dark grey clouds Mist-shrouded shadows climb up the walls I wonder why there’s broken glass on the floor Scuff on the vinyl I’m paranoid Should I risk a peek in the front door’s hole? Why don’t you be my coat tonight it’s cold, and it’s raining in the bedroom Can’t see the ceiling anymore, too scared to check, If the stalker’s under the bed Why don’t you be my coat tonight it’s cold, and it’s raining in the bedroom Can’t see the ceiling anymore, too scared to check, If the stalker’s under the bed Head to toe fisseled no hues and cries I knew you had a storyline in mind If I am the one, consenting mouse Can you say for sure who’s the victim, now? Wrists in the handcuffs just for a while I’m givin’ the lead you should take advantage on that Twist into the scarf to blind my eyes even if it is hurtin’, I don’t mind I don’t mind Why don’t you be my coat tonight it’s cold, and it’s raining in the bedroom Can’t see the ceiling anymore, too scared to check If the stalker’s under the bed Why don’t you be my coat tonight it’s cold, and it’s raining in the bedroom Can’t see the ceiling anymore, too scared to check If the stalker’s under the bed

about

After receiving waves of support for her Trip-Hop/Pop EP ‘Plane Crash’ at the end of 2017, French singer-songwriter-composer Bonnie Li returned with her debut Dark-Pop studio album ‘Wǒ Men’ in January 2019, a part-autobiographical, part-fiction collection with the aim to explore the emotions and fears she experienced in the 2 years between the two releases. Today, Bonnie Li is ready to present her second full-length album 'Le Bleu du Rouge', which the artist herself describes as “a stroll on the amorous shores, thought of as a voyage, between dreams and desires “.

Born in a Marseille family and raised in Hong Kong, Bonnie Li began her adult life in Paris and is now based between Berlin and Marseille. She writes, composes and sings her touching ‘Trip Pop’ in three languages (English, French & Chinese Mandarin), and has been praised by the likes of Clash Magazine, Earmilk and Rough Trade for her eclectic taste and cinematic music. As a romantic and feminist, Bonnie Li reflects on the place given to women in our societies and explores recurrent themes like 'the heroine woman', ‘the mystery of feelings’ and 'power dynamics'. Now, with her latest singles 'All about You' (FIP Nouveautés, RollingStone), 'So Hard' feat. Coeur (Equal - Spotify France Editorial Playlist), ‘Chinese Talk’ (FIP Nouveautés, Midnight Chill - Spotify Japan Editorial Playlist) & 'Stalker' (Fresh Indie Global - JOOX Editorial Playlist, New Music Alert - Resso Editorial Playlist, synched in movie 'Ogre' by Arnaud Malherbe) just out, Bonnie Li will release her 2nd full-length album on April 22.

'Le Bleu du Rouge' which translates to "The Blue within the Red", explores love in different shapes and forms, Bonnie tells us: "It’s a very intimate, more gentle album. Written during the first lockdown as all my tours got canceled, I felt I had to come back to the core - to my inner self, emphasize the romantic aspects within me and in my life and embrace them'.

The new full-lenght showcases original arrangements and striking sound design with a minimalistic approach, which makes it more delicate than Bonnie Li's previous offers. She goes on to explain: "Blue mixed in red gives purple, a color that invites passion, dreams, intimacy and has a touch of mystery. 'Le Bleu du Rouge' is exactly that”.

While receiving great media coverage on her studio-productions (RollingStone, The Line of Best Fits, Rough Trade, Sync on Arte TV Serie 'Moloch', +230k views on ‘I Want You To Die’ MV) performing live is definitely one of her strongest suits.

Charismatic and touching in her one-woman-show, the singer balances between tension and release while adding to the experience with live vocal samples, mixing her mezzo soprano harmonies with airy synths, all on deep and catchy beats. She has been seen on festivals such as Marsatac, Les Francofolies, numerous LGBTQI+ scenes in Europe and Turkey and was coming back from a month-long tour in Italy and 2 tours in the USA before the pandemic hit.

With this impressive history in her wake, Bonnie Li will now release her 2nd full length album 'Le Bleu du Rouge' on all major platforms through Icons Creating Evil Art on April 22, 2022.
