Saint Bodhi is a GRAMMY Award nominated singer, songwriter and rapper. Hot off the release of her newest EP Antisocial, Bodhi is creating a name for herself within the industry. The six-track EP is a testament to the power of beautiful lyricism and melodious, yet soulful, voice. We had the chance to chat with her deeper about the EP!
Congrats on the release of your EP Antisocial! How does it feel to finally have it out into the world?
Saint Bodhi: “Thank you . It feels amazing me and Neffu worked really hard to bring this project to life.”
What was the inspiration behind the album artwork as well as the album title?
SB: “Antisocial is about me looking inward and basically being antisocial. I wanted to be isolated in the water. Like it’s basically just me floating in my emotions.”
The first track, “Antisocial,” starts off the six track EP strongly! Why did you choose to place this as the first song?
SB: “It’s a title track if the album. Thought it should start it off.”
The fifth track, “Hurt Me” has an accompanying music video! Can you talk about the filming process behind it?
SB: “It was so fun filming. I’m pretty sure the car almost blew up. But it was a long productive day.”
What inspired you to end the EP with a lyrically-hitting track like “Heaven Is Real?”
SB: “That song really hits home for me. Most of the album is a bit more open. I thought it best to be personal at the end of the album.”
What was the writing process like for track four, “Guide Me To the Light?”
SB: “It was fun writing Guide Me To the Light. Me and Neffu danced a lot [and] vibed out to the record.”
What song from the EP would you recommend to someone who has never listened to you before? Why?
SB: “I’d recommend ‘Hurt Like Me.’ It’s a real record and most people can relate.”
