I found it important to move away from a love story and dare experimenting a darker side. “‘Bruises are the marks our sentimental breakups are leaving behind, the destructive side of love. ‘Bruises’ isn’t a love story, neither is it a tune to rock dancefloors – this is the other side of life, portrayed in a beautiful slice of music. Safe to say, Henri PFR is on fire. With last year’s hit record ‘No One Knows’ (and its precursor ‘Loving Myself’) fresh in mind, it’s clear the Belgian tastemaker is delivering a sound that strikes a chord with a wide, international audience. He brought his aerial touch. He’s teamed up with Madism, one of Holland’s most up and coming producers in the last two years, known for remixing some of the biggest names in the industry, including Lewis Capaldi, Sam Smith, James Arthur, Dermot Kennedy and JP Saxe. Evolving on this moody vibe, the record breaks out in a dramatic chorus, with subtle beats and tasteful synth chords supporting LONO’s outcry of emotions, beautifully underlining the sentimental message presented here. It reflects what’s sometimes hidden in a world where everything should be perfect on social medias. It’s resulted in something quite special. He knows how to get things moving with fresh grooves, while constantly bringing in tasty hooks, inventive songwriting and strong vocalists. ‘Bruises’ is, essentially, a breakup song, built around warm, sentimental guitar chords and the sultry vocals of Berlin based singer-songwriter LONO. This song is really important to me. A pop song to hold close to your heart, wherever you are in these strange, confusing times. I’m very happy with our first collaboration!” – Henri PFR. For his newest effort ‘Bruises’ he’s done just that. It’s not like anything these two producers have released before. Dutch producer Madism was the key to finalize the track. Follow us on socials
