South African alt‑rock outfit BLVD HVNNY release “She’s One of Us Now”, the latest single from their debut album IX.
‘She’s One of Us Now’, plunges into a tongue‑in‑cheek dark fantasy; a moody yet irresistibly upbeat goth‑rock fever dream. Written from the vivid imagination of lead singer Cito, the song unfolds like desaturated technicolour cinema: playful shadows, wry smiles, and a tragically triumphant climax. The track’s driving energy and bittersweet melodies carry a story both haunting and strangely celebratory, blurring the line between fear and fascination. Joining the revelry is celebrated South African goth‑rock icon Ashton Nyte, whose unmistakable baritone and poetic lyricism elevate the track’s theatrical edge. His chemistry with Cito transforms “She’s One of Us Now” into an anthemic ode to the beautifully strange.
BLVD HVNNY:
In a world slipping into shadow, BLVD HVNNY (pronounced Blood Honey) emerges a cinematic, melancholic soundscape from Cito, best known as the frontman of South African bands WONDERboom, El Cantante, and Absinthè. This project marks a darker, more introspective turn; gothic, electronic, and deeply emotional. What began as a solitary studio experiment quickly evolved into a five-piece live band. Though rooted in electronic production, every sound is performed live, giving the music a raw, haunting immediacy.
