Bully (a.k.a. Alicia Bognanno) has shared a new song called “Atom Bomb,” a moving piano ballad produced by JT Daly that arrives alongside an intimate live video.
“The song was originally recorded with a drum machine and electric guitar; it was also quite a bit faster,” Bognanno shared of the track. “When I played the demo for JT Daly, he had the idea of moving it to the piano. I remember saying out loud, ‘Can you believe I’m trusting anybody like this?’ We both started laughing because starting off as someone who used to record, mix, and produce their own records to avoid the vulnerability that comes with working out creative ideas in the company of others, it was a huge step for me. That was our first real bonding moment, acknowledging that we were mutually up for trying new things and seeing each other’s ideas through before one of us shut it down.”
Bree Marie Fish directed the accompanying live video, which was recorded and shot at MMK studios in Nashville. Bully is currently touring North America as a solo act, offering up tracks from her celebrated 2023 LP Lucky for You. Check out the video for “Atom Bomb” below, and stream it here.
