Sounding disctinctly like an artist from the peak of the 90's R&B heyday.. Bonnie Freechild comes through with pure funk, soul and pop bliss on her new EP Aftertaste. Full of honesty and lyrically vulnerable moments, as well as playful, sultry and at times deviant themes.. It's an artist that's truly baring her soul..
The project is a deep dive into the lingering emotions of connection—the sweetness and the bitterness that remain after moments dissolve. Freechild herself describes the EP as a “distilled collection of songs shaped by the in-between moments,” tracing an intimate journey through themes of love, loss, sensuality, and the quiet discovery of personal limits.
Following appearances, including acclaimed performances at the BBC Proms and recognition as a BBC 1XTRA Performing Arts Fund, the spotlight on Freechild is well-deserved. Aftertaste delivers on that promise, infusing its tracks with a sensual yet playful R&B energy that will immediately resonate with fans of artists like SZA, Snoh Aalegra, and Teyana Taylor.
“Aftertaste is a distilled collection of songs shaped by the in-between moments, where desire shifts, clarity sharpens, and emotions linger long after the moments end. Written over several years, the EP traces my evolution through love, loss, sensuality, self-discovery, and the quiet power of learning my own limits.
These songs came from emotional overflow. Writing as a way of processing, releasing, and reckoning. Aftertaste marks a shift for me. A shedding. A letting go."
