lyrics

Hey
Feeling abashed
There's no need
There's a freedom
In the unknown
Feel it
It will pass
Now is a time for savouring

Ingenue
Is curious
Acronyms
Make her delirious

Ingenue
Considers winning
Pink lace
In games of spinning

Ingenue
Let go
Of the hand
Of the Holy Ghost

Seem sure
The new folks
But ingenue
It's all a hoax

CHORUS

Ingenue
Think you won't win
Think if you carry weight
That it's a sin

Now you're closing up
Open up again
How am I to know
If you won't let me in

Ingenue
I'm not right
But, if I may
Let me shine a light

Think that my face
Reflects the truth?
Stop looking, my love
It's in you

CHORUS

about

Bonjay Toronto, Ontario

Dancehall-bred, but orchestrated like old soul.

Resplendent with emotive vocals inspired as much by Feist as by Yolanda Adams.

There’s a rawness to Bonjay’s sound: to the feelings, to the voice, to the sounds clashing.

It sounds like something new. ... more
