Today's the day! Vancouver musician Bukola's highly anticipated debut EP The Chronicles Of A Teenage Mind is out today on all digital streaming platforms. And to celebrate, she's also releasing a brand new single and video, 'Falling Deeper'. Watch video here.
'Falling Deeper' is the 3rd single to be released from Bukola's new EP. The sweet laid back love song hits on that classic R&B sweet spot, while drawing inspiration from one of Bukola's favourite artists.
"'Falling Deeper' is one of my favourites off the EP because it has a really sweet classic R&B vibe to it," says Bukola. "It also draws sonic inspirations from Daniel Caesar who is one of my favourite artists. The music video for the song was also so much fun to shoot as it was a one-take video. It's set in a beautiful jazz club and features dancing and choreography from Zavien Garrett and guitar playing from Anthony Anderson."
Deeply influenced by artists such as India.Arie, Daniel Caesar and H.E.R., Bukola worked with Grammy Award-winning producer, Chin Injeti, and Juno Award-winning producer Ben Kaplan on her debut EP The Chronicles Of A Teenage Mind. Still a teenager at 19 years old, she came up with the concept and title for the EP when she was in grade 8.
"I never thought I would ever get to create my own EP, but I knew that if I did, I wanted it to be about my experiences as a teen," says Bukola. "I started recording and working on the project full-on when I was in grade 11 and I even got some help from 2 of my friends when I wrote the intro and outro bits for the EP."
The Chronicles Of A Teenage Mind is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more info, please visit bukolamusic.com.
