Get a Glimpse at Bedouine’s Creative Process in Album Trailer Accompanying New Single “One More Time”

Bedouine’s gorgeous new track from her forthcoming second album arrived Tuesday alongside a brief peek behind the creative curtain in the form of a new album trailer. The singer-songwriter—real name Azniv Korkejian—has unveiled “One More Time,” the latest single from Bird Songs of a Killjoy, and a folky gem at that. Korkejian explains the track’s inspiration in a statement:

”One More Time” contemplates the difference between being with someone versus being alone; Whether a partnership should greatly change your life or allow you to continue carving independent paths. Khalil Gibran famously says lovers should be like two pillars holding up the same temple yet out from each other’s shadow. The song contemplates that in a cyclical relationship

Complementing the track—a pitter-patter of soft guitar plucks and buttery smooth vocals—is a glimpse at the recording of strings on Birds of a Killjoy, due for release June 21 via Spacebomb Records. Violinists, mixing boards, microphones and studio shots showcase the extensive work going into the album, which Korkejian formed with creative partner Gus Seyffert.
