Following the success of her debut EP Crossroads, South African artist
Bianca Burt, also known as The Bird, releases her latest single, “Honeymoon Love,” produced by Werner Beukes. Known for her reflective storytelling, The Bird captures the exhilarating beginning of romance in this heartfelt new song. Moving into a fresh country sound, “Honeymoon Love” draws listeners into the joy and anticipation of falling in love.
Inspired by the intensity of early relationships, Bianca describes Honeymoon Love as a song about rediscovery. “We all crave that honeymoon phase in love, whether it’s with someone new or even reigniting sparks in a long-term relationship. It’s about that exciting beginning when the person you’re falling for doesn’t know all your secrets, and you’re getting to know each other, layer by layer.”
The single was recorded in Cape Town, South Africa, and marks an exciting genre shift for The Bird, blending her alternative folk roots with a country feel. Known for songs that explore life’s complex emotions, The Bird released her debut EP Crossroads earlier this year, an album that deeply resonates with her own journey through love, loss, and resilience. With soulful tracks like “Bhodi Khaya,” inspired by a retreat that helped her navigate grief and personal transformation, Crossroads solidified The Bird’s place as an authentic voice in South African music.
Honeymoon Love is a beautiful continuation of this journey – a celebration of love and the thrill of new beginnings, no matter where we are in life. With its country-inspired warmth and Bianca’s distinct lyrical style, the song is sure to connect with fans
“Honeymoon Love” is out on all streaming platforms 8 November 2024.
