It’s been a long six years since we’ve heard a cohesive collection of music from Brittany Bosco. Sure, she has released singles (“Black Book,” Slippin,” “Ragdoll” and “MPH,” among others) and virtual flip books on her website (the very cool, stylistic hellobosco.com), but in terms of quantity we haven’t seen a proper release since 2008’s The Spectrum and 2009’s The Spectrum 2.0.
On her latest, BOY, BOSCO, the most recent artist added to Brooklyn-based Fool’s Gold formidable arsenal, shows off more of her eclectic range. And, believe me, it’s all here: a stirring ’90s R&B anthem (“Boy,” featuring Jace of Two-9), vast electronic dreamscapes (“Gold Ghost” and “Seventh”), two short, teasing interludes, and a dramatic closer that sounds like it was taken from Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross’ Social Network soundtrack (“Pour The Whiskey”).
Proving that Fool’s Gold didn’t sign pyrite, BOSCO’s 24 karat voice shines, and, at times, seems to float overtop of the music like a haunting presence. Think Erykah Badu hanging out with the likes of Banks and The Weeknd.
While BOY is vastly different from her Spectrum roots (less funk/hip-hop and more ambient singing), it’s a natural progression; BOSCO is finding her sound by combining her past efforts with newer, more overtly electronic influences. With a hunger to erect a vast universe filled with 808s and slow-motion heartbreak, BOSCO is pushing her creative boundaries in the best way possible — never repeating herself and never disappointing.
