As details about Brittany Knox's album, Epoch, was released months prior to its artwork and first single, details of a few songs being cooked up for Brittany Knox in the studio by Rock genius Jason Smith put a tidal wave of interest in not only Brittany's new music, but the tracks Jason produced as well. More recently, a song called Bonnie's Redemption was announced to impact radio stations and digital outlets after her massive hit Desert Paradise that has surpassed the gold mark. So where does that bring us? To Bonnie's Redemption.

Bonnie's Redemption is the pure New Wave/Indie Rock trip where Knox places herself in a notorious females place, that female, Bonnie Parker. Bonnie Parker became one of the most notorious females ever and was considered a huge public enemy and criminal during the public enemy era(circa 1930's).

The song starts off with a man [possibly a judge] uttering the worlds "Bonnie, you've been sentenced to life in prison for what you have done, any last words?". The creative start of the song only makes us wonder, what is a female to say to redeem herself? As those words are spoken, the track starts significantly in a bloodcurdling, eerie guitar and keyboard driven beat that sounds amazing in tune with Brittany's eerie, yet purposely emotionless voice. As the song goes on with different melodic guitar riffs and generated streams are heard across the baseline with atmospheric sounds. Brittany sings apologetically "I didn't know what I was doing, no guidance, no one to turn to". Brittany sings in first person and in tune at this tempo as singing deeply about how "she" [Bonnie] didn't know what she was doing, "Feeling like I can do whatever, especially if I had the world underneath my feet" and also begging for forgiveness: "I know no one listening, look at me, I deserve to be ......FREE".

Toward the midpoint of the song there is a strong buildup to the chorus, that gives us a fast paced New Wave bit that adds in drums and the memorable guitar riffs from the beginning of the song. Brittany changes up and sings in second person "There's no apology's, there's not apology's, you can't always redeem yourself from the public's perception, oh yea, there's no redemption's. Knoxville sings throughout the bridge and chorus that not only can you not always redeem yourself from the way the public looks at you, but throughout the song the songstress tries to get the point of a person cant always expect to be forgiven.



Desert Paradise saw a more happy, carefree Brittany that we all fell in love with. But at the same time that's why we love Bonnie's Redemption, because its the opposite. The track takes a different approach for the fans and listeners looking forward to the Epoch album, and it comes in perfect timing following Brittany proving to anyone just how innovative she can be with D.Paradise. This track, more straightforward, edgy, dark shows us that Brittany has officially mastered this New Wave genre she first starting using in another big single of Knox's called Truce, off her E.P Halfway There. Of course this could have not been done without Jason's relentlessly eerie production that matched perfectly with Brittany's vocals that gave the song great chemistry.


The track is being sent to radio stations and digital outlets today! What do you think?
