about

Rochelle Bonamie’s debut EP UNTIL THAT TIME was a rumination on entering adulthood for the very first time, tackling themes of uncertainty, anger, curiosity and the chaos that comes with falling in love. As well as Rochelle Bonamies musical inspirations – ranging from Frank Ocean, Kari Faux and Missy Elliot to classic rock and Black spiritual jazz from the 60s and 70s – the natural world is key to unlocking the Providence-based artist’s sound.

The artist formerly known as Borboleta is back with a new single and a new name. "Plastic Heart" is about someone who seems like they're loving, but is in fact not. "I think sometimes we're addicted to things that are bad for us, so I wrote this song as a way to heal from that pain and end that cycle," says Rochelle.

Hard yet shallow, hollow and inanimate, devoid of any real substance or mobility outside of something fun. Imagine saying this about someone's heart and then writing a song that both tackles and mocks the plasticity of such a thing. Beginning with the berating of a counterpart with said insult, Rochelle Bonamie (formerly Borboleta)'s electric piano keys accompany an almost lullaby-like song that mourns a stagnant, if not one-sided, relationship with an emotionally unavailable partner. And though the song may seem passive musically, that is where the power can be found. No swells, no glides, nothing but what the partner deserves: the same cute plasticity delivered back to the sender. This is a song you put on when you feel your own sense of emotional unavailability brewing, at whatever label it may be.
