Bearniez is an Indonesian-Italian singer/songwriter and sound engineer, whose travels to the major metropolitan areas across the globe has influenced her ability to mix multiple elements from different genres and cultures in her work.
Her latest single, “Safari Motion” is a slickly produced, hook-driven bop featuring dense layers of glistening synths, skittering beats, bursts of squiggling funk guitar a sinuous bas line that serve as a lush bed for Bearniez’s plaintive pop starlet delivery.
According to the Indonesian-Italian artist, the song describes the her creativity as a sort of jungle, a chaotic world of colors, beauty and danger. As you get older, imagination and creativity are supposed to be boxed and put away. The expectation is that you must follow the pragmatic, “adult” path. But the song talks about not letting external pressure to make you “grow up” and stop being creative or imaginative.
