Rochelle Bonamie, formerly known as Borboleta, is a Providence-based Pop artist known for her boundlessly soulful vocals and the relatable themes addressed in her music. The artist formerly known as Borboleta is not only back with a new name but also with a new single “Plastic Heart.” The new single “Plastic Heart” is about someone who seems like they’re loving, but is in fact not. Rochelle explains, “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.”

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.

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.

“Plastic Heart” is produced by Miami artist Phoenix James with additional production from Ryan Hinkle.
