Bnny – One Million Love Songs | Album Reviews

Bnny’s latest album, “One Million Love Songs,” is a hauntingly beautiful record that transports listeners to a dreamy, melancholic world. With echoes of ’90s bands like Mazzy Star and Madder Rose, the album creates a hazy atmosphere filled with reverb-heavy guitars and ethereal vocals. Despite its brevity, “One Million Love Songs” feels like a complete journey, immersing listeners in a world of sorrow and healing.

The album’s genesis stems from a period of immense loss in Jessica Viscius’ life, as she navigated the grief of losing her partner, musician Trey Gruber. Originally conceived as a solo project named Bunny, Viscius transformed the project into Bnny, incorporating her sister Alexa and brother-in-law Adam Schubert as full-time members. While their debut album “Everything” delved deep into themes of grief and pain, “One Million Love Songs” presents a more accessible yet equally poignant collection of tracks.

Tracks like “Missing” and “Good Stuff” showcase Viscius’ ability to weave introspective lyrics with lush, atmospheric instrumentals. The introspective “Something Blue” and the introspective “Sweet” delve into themes of processing grief and grappling with the past, all while maintaining a sense of dreamy serenity. The standout track “Changes” features Viscius’s fragile vocals overlaid on a backdrop of raw emotion, while the closing track “No One” provides a solemn yet cathartic conclusion to the album.

Clocking in at just 25 minutes, “One Million Love Songs” may be short, but it is far from incomplete. Each track is meticulously crafted, drawing listeners into a world of introspection and reflection. The album’s haunting beauty lingers long after the final notes fade, prompting a desire to revisit its ethereal soundscape time and time again.

On a scale of 0 to 10, “One Million Love Songs” easily earns a solid 9. This album is a captivating journey through grief, healing, and self-discovery, showcasing Bnny’s unique ability to capture complex emotions in a single, cohesive work of art. Embrace the melancholy, dive into the reverie, and let yourself be swept away by the haunting beauty of “One Million Love Songs.”
