U Ouchea, beautiful song by Christelle Bofale
Spotify offered me this overwhelmingly beautiful song by Christelle Bofale, who is from Austin, Texas. It was actually this studio version, where she’s backed by a band with drums, bass, and synthesizer and her voice has all kinds of special effects.
Very beautiful, but the version in the video is very powerful too, with just Bofale and her guitar, her beautiful voice and the hissing of a sultry summer evening on the background. Which reminds me of Joni Mitchell and Bufales music does have similarities with Mitchell’s. Dreamy, contemplative, a little drunk with emotion.
Bufale doesn’t have a real album out yet. Just an EP, Swim Team, containing five beautiful songs, U Ouchea amongst them, and seperate songs and a couple of what you could call musical sketches, all to be found on Bandcamp. Maybe buy some of her music and hope she’ll break through and make a full album and become a superstar.
