New London show added
London based Synth-pop artist I Am Boleyn is pleased to announce a brand new track with the arrival of 'Driving In The Dark' this summer out on Aztec Records / Rough Trade.
Following on from her recent rework of The Corr's classic 'Breathless', 'Driving In The Dark' sonically inspired by the rock-pop synth queens of the 1980s like The GoGos, Debbie Harry, and The Bangles, continues I Am Boleyn's music evolution, fusing 80s new wave influences over lush, synth driven melodies and introspective lyricism.
She says: “I find there are two places that bring up memories of the past and can sometimes make me teary. One is airplanes and the other is driving alone in the car at night. Something about the journey and the solitude makes me reflect - I know it’s the same for a lot of people. I wanted to write a pop song that captured that cinematic troupe of crying in your car. It’s a cliche for a reason! It can be powerfully cathartic to turn the music up, roll the windows down and cry it out."
Dubbed V Magazines ‘New Favourite Artist’ I Am Boleyn spends her time shuttling between London and Stockholm, working with Swedish based music production collective FMLY STHLM and Johannes Willinder. Influenced by Robyn, Annie, Goldfrapp and MS MR, her take on electro-pop brims with hints of neon lit 80’s Berlin bars with a futuristic twist of Blade Runner.
I Am Boleyn went to Oxford University to study history and has been writing songs since she was young.
After the release of her first single ‘Too Much’ she played sold out ‘Dazzling’ (Daily Mail) shows at the Peppermint Club in Los Angeles, Laylow in London and Art Basel Miami.
The F9 remix of ‘Too Much’ charted at number 12 in the UK Club Charts in December 2019. In January 2020 her music video for her single ‘Limit of Love’ was shortlisted for the London Music Video Festival.
She performed her single ‘Another Me’ for the digital concert #ivoted festival on November 3rd for the US elections and ‘Another Me’ was added to Spotify’s Editorial Playlist ‘Retro Wave/Outrun.’ Her EP ‘Paris to Berlin’ featuring ‘Paris to Berlin’ has over 1 million streams.
Signing with Aztec Records in September 2022, she has released the first two singles ‘Girl Like Me’ and ‘Tiny Love’ from her upcoming album ‘Lost in Space’ (coming out Summer 2023). With over 1.8 million streams on Spotify and 150k views on Youtube I Am Boleyn’s momentum looks set to launch her into the SynthPop stratosphere.
‘Breathless’ was produced by Johannes Willinder and continues the themes that are shaping up I Am Boleyn’s long awaited album ‘Lost In Space’, coming in summer 2023.
