BONNIE X CLYDE brings a melancholic sound and a story of love that was lost on their debut album, Tears In Paradise.
Since becoming friends in eighth grade, Paige Lopynski and Daniel Litman drifted apart before forming BONNIE X CLYDE in 2015. Touring the world together and playing some of the biggest festivals with their unique sound, the two became more than just friends. Over the course of six years, their relationship remained a secret before they split, leaving questions about the future of BONNIE X CLYDE up in the air. However, their passion for music surpassed any issues they might have had, and thus the birth of their debut album, Tears In Paradise.
On Tears In Paradise, BONNIE x CLYDE share their story through ten tracks and takes listeners on a journey through their relationship they step out of their comfort zone and experiment with different styles. Mending their musical relationship from their broken romance, each song shares their raw emotions and the beauty that came out of it. In a momentary detour from the sound that they have coined, BONNIE x CLYDE has assured fans that their career is far from over.
