Blue is not a calm colour. It is the colour of the end of the night, of solo journeys home in the dark, of that precise moment when high spirits and melancholy stop pulling against each other. That is the blue Bomel set out to turn into sound. The French producer has been working for some time around synaesthesia, that link between a shade and a sound. Something Blue Should Know is its latest chapter, and probably the poppiest: less restraint, more sparkle, a more immediate texture than anything he had offered so far. His trademark remains, that piano on which everything rests before the track even takes its electronic shape. Here, it almost steps aside, making room for a chorus that sticks. Bomel’s blue doesn’t bring you down. It keeps you company.
