Written by Sarah Maison | Produced by Steve Surmely | Released via Capitane Records As I search through the flood of new releases—hundreds upon hundreds of tracks posted online each week—I find myself sifting through a digital haystack of songs that, frankly, often feel lifeless. So many sound rushed, heartless, flat, as though churned out by a conveyor belt rather than composed from a place of emotion or intention. But just when my ears begin to dull, I strike gold. A gem emerges. Sarah Maison’s “Bonsoir” is that gem. This track stopped me in my scroll. Not with noise, but with restraint. With beauty. With a sound that made me wonder: Is this a voice I missed from the 60s or 70s?
