Celebrate the historic “Downfall of Doma” with Bonhom’s “Free My Love” single and music video! The release date honors the 44th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots coinciding with Gay Pride months worldwide.
Like the stand gay rights activists took at Stonewall, this single advocates for freedom to love for all people. “Won’t you free my love?” vocalist James Coleman sultrily sings as the music video takes your breath away just like falling in love. The video features stunning time lapse shots of the natural world by Blake Ciulla. Majestic mountains, lush forests, and sensual sunsets capture the mystery and passion that is love. Set to Diwon’s trance-like, transcendent big beats, this orchestrated pop song is a stirring anthem for love for all.
“Free My Love” is the next in a series of singles from Bonhom’s forthcoming EP, titled #BNHM. Their past two singles, “Live for Now” and “NYE,” were remixed by Dubstep duo Neutron, composed of Hollywood producers Laze & Royal, responsible for some of the hottest songs by Tyga, The Game, Chris Brown, Ke$ha, and more.

Bonhom’s “Live for Now” is the first single off the forthcoming Top of the World EP, set to be released in early 2013. The video premiered on Spinner this weekend and with its release, Bonhom defines the style of Dream-Pop. From the danceable beat to the dreamy vocals, it combines a classic pop sound infused with a modern 2013-style production. The song is about living in the moment, letting go of the past, and embracing the future. The accompanying video, directed by Matthew Stubstad, interacts with everyday people as they determine their most essential values to guide their lives – like family, love, and culture – and inspires us all to do the same. These messages of meaning are sent up to the heavens in an epic cinematic flourish of your dreams. The close camera angles bring the viewer on an emotional journey to experience the present in its fullest power.
Their songs compel listeners to live in the moment, let go of the past, and embrace the future. With a fantastic fusion of their musical talents, Coleman and Diwon produce the songs of which dreams are made of.
Be sure to download the single as well as the remix by Neutron, comprised of producers Laze and Royal, are the team behind some of the hottest hits from Tyga, the Game, Chris Brown, Ke$ha and more.
Here is what Spinner had to say: One of Pepsi’s ever-changing slogans promised, “Where there’s Pepsi, there’s music.” In writing their debut single, dream-pop duo Bonhom weren’t inspired by a soft drink campaign, but found the track shared a name with another Pepsi catchphrase, “Live for Now.”
When it came to filming the video for the song, the band — comprised of singer-songwriter/producer James Coleman and DJ/producer/songwriter Diwon — chose to embrace the coincidence.
“A couple weeks after we wrote it, we drove past a huge billboard that says ‘LIVE FOR NOW — PEPSI,’” the band tells Spinner. “Once we realized that we basically wrote the anthem for Pepsi’s new campaign without even being aware, we thought it would be cool to shoot a video that had a inspirational feel that brought diverse people together with a positive message, almost something Pepsi wish they had done with their campaign. At one point we thought it would be hilarious to start the video off with a big title card that read THIS IS NOT A PEPSI COMMERCIAL.”
Pepsi inspiration aside, the video, directed by Matthew Stubstad, took on a deeper meaning.
“Once we got into the video we forgot all about the Pepsi coincidence and just had fun running around to different neighborhoods in L.A., finding people from different walks of life and really getting to see what they live for,” they say. “‘Live For Now’ was written about living momentarily rather than in the unforeseen future or the distant past. It’s forgetting the worldwide tensions that can boggle us down and experiencing life as if we are observing it with new eyes.”
And Bonhom’s take on living in the moment?
“Sometimes we are not exactly where we want to be, but ultimately where we are is where we are supposed to be. It’s the journey that counts. That’s why we ‘Live for Now.’”
