Australian singer, songwriter and producer, Bobi Andonov has released his first single of 2023, “Bad Decisions” today via Say Less / Warner Music Australia. The track marks a new chapter for the rising artist, calling upon his expansive influences – the likes of Prince, Michael Hutchence, Childish Gambino and Tame Impala – to experiment beyond the confines of his previous work. Listen to the track now below.
“’Bad Decisions’ is about finding someone who can keep up with your freedom, and your decadence, and the fun you can have exploring with them,” Bobi says of the song.
Last year, Bobi released two funk-infused pop tracks “Until The Morning” and “Night Crawls” under the moniker Drella. The former arrived alongside an incredible music video by Grey Ghost (Ruel, Hiatus Kayote) and attracted rave reviews on triple j Unearthed, with Abby Butler praising it as “world class” and Tommy Faith proclaiming it a “certified hit”.
Having fallen in love with music at an early age, Bobi has had a whirlwind musical career thus far. His passion has taken him from performing as Young Simba in the Broadway production of The Lion King in both Melbourne and Shanghai, representing North Macedonia at Junior Eurovision, and making it as a grand finalist in Australia’s Got Talent (with his audition reaching over 15 million views), to spending studio time in Stockholm with some of Sweden’s most illustrious hitmakers including The Wolf Cousins – who have penned hits for the likes of Ariana Grande, Sam Smith, Dua Lipa. Bobi’s music has received acclaim from the likes of Billboard, NYLON, Time, triple j, and Unearthed and 2023 sees him continue his evolution, with new releases produced by the likes of Ilya (Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and recently Sam Smith’s and Kim Petras’ “Unholy”), Rykeyz, and Dylan Bauld.
