B O K E H creates dreamy electropop music in tandem with self-directed and produced visuals to accompany them.
Formerly an actress, B O K E H now pretends to be a musician, making R&B influenced electropop which utilises a kaleidoscope of analogue synths, self-made samples made from iPhone field recordings and drum beats inspired by likes of the 80's and 90's.
At the core of B O K E H’s music, tying together a diverse range of genre-defying sounds, are her confessional vocals, a centrepiece to the cinematic and emotive soundscape that she creates. Often repetitive lyrics are sung like prayers, through her unmistakable, emphatic vibrato, always with an inescapable tinge of melancholy.
B O K E H is the moniker of singer, producer and video maker, Chloë Lewer, an independent artist from New Zealand, based in Berlin, Germany- where she began her musical career as a busker in 2011.
B O K E H’s debut album, room 42 is due for release in July, 2023. An album which she wrote, performed, engineered and produced herself in-between her Berlin home studio and on the road, through New Zealand, France, Portugal and Greece.
The album is a culmination of B O K E H’s desire to nurture, ‘human warmth, sensuality, tenderness, connection, intimacy, self-love, celebration and liberation.’
At the core of room 42, which draws its name from the hotel room in which the album was conceived, lies an undeniable theme of romance.
Influences include James Blake, L’impératrice, Okay Kaya, Beach House, Soko, Timi Yuro, Karen Dalton, Air, Kate Bush, Imogen Heap, Weval and Billie Eilish.
