Setting Sun’ takes place in the young composer’s recent flush of releases, showcasing his production talent alongside a composing maturity beyond his age. The 18-year-old is already a star on social media, having shared his exciting attitude to everything he is passionate about over the last years. Now, it seems he has found his real voice.
From being an MLB prospect to deciding to turn his focus to music, the last years have been a wild ride for Landon Bonneville. The artist is feeding endless sources of inspiration, having his feet in so many different social circles, that it’s hard to grasp the levels of his time and energy management.
Yes, it’s the same Landon Bonneville that was predicted to play professional sports in a couple of years. Yes, it’s the same Landon Bonneville that inspired NFT platform Uhive to collaborate with him, as his hand-painted sneakers were rising in demand. And yes, the same Landon Bonneville that could be seen among the mixing and sound techs for international music acts touring in the US.
Earlier this year, he started releasing solo productions, with a fairly different touch than the pop greats he had collaborated with in the background.
Cinematic themes and mystical stories are told once again in his fifth instrumental this year. ‘Setting Sun’ is a fitting title for a melancholic, at times dark track that could easily make the soundtrack of your next Marvel series on Netflix.
It is clear that Bonneville isn’t limiting himself. Neither in his life nor in his music. The next release could feature a country star and we would not be surprised. Rather, it would make sense.
Whether that’s down to his young age or simply a free spirit, we hope that he keeps it that way.
As long as the output is as enjoyable and qualitative, we’re here for the ride.
