Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Hollis (full name Hollis Wong-Wear) releases “Bloom Indigo ” produced, co-written, and featuring LA-based indie art pop artist Dresage. The song will appear on Hollis’ debut full length album Subliminal, out May 6th via Anti Fragile. 

“Bloom Indigo” is about building a home within yourself and the uncertainty of growth, despite the hope that it seems to promise. Hollis notes that “all the seeds are sewn / Now I gotta grow” over the chime-like and airy synth production that Dresage is praised for. For both artists who make music with the goal of empowering women all over the world, the collaboration was seamless and fruitful. 

Hollis, a champion for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and female collaborators, tapped LA based animator Jamie Wolfe (Rolling Stones, King Krule, Local Natives) to direct the video for “Bloom Indigo” which is also out now.

“The origin of this song started by reading Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés — inspired by being in the desert, alone, and thinking about the role that solitude and space plays on being a woman finding herself and her voice,” Hollis shares. “We love a reflective banger!”

“‘Bloom Indigo’ is a sonic exhale where all you can do is allow the garden that you’ve planted to grow,” Dressage shares. We spend all this time trying to manipulate our reality and will our dreams come true? What happens if we just let them come as they intend?”

Hollis’ debut solo album, Subliminal is about sinking past the senses and the sensical. It’s about the complexity of healing when everything hurts, embracing the unknowns, the falls, and the falling apart. It’s about the strength to surrender and finding the courage to unnumb.
