"Spellbound" Single by Bianca Tañega

After months of teasing on TikTok, Bianca Tañega finally released her latest single ‘Spellbound’ on July 8, 2022.

In this new witchy summer anthem, Bianca sings about attraction and its likeness to bewitching another person. With its hard-hitting beat and coy adlibs, the song is a dramatic yet playful depiction of flirtation and seduction.

‘Spellbound’ is a testament to Bianca’s talent and creativity as a songwriter and lyricist. In an earlier TikTok, Bianca teased a snippet of the unreleased demo and revealed that the love potion recipe she sings in the bridge is actually based on the elements of attraction. 

This song is also Bianca’s first move towards a newer sound. Much of her existing catalogue has been classified under the R&B genre, however, this song is Bianca’s first time releasing a track that is more Pop-leaning. Working once again with innerbloomboi, the song references a lot of Pop music from the early noughties; particularly that of iconic acts such as the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Britney Spears, and Nelly Furtado.

Having spent most of her childhood during the early 2000’s, ‘Spellbound’ is not only a nod to some of Bianca’s earlier musical influences but also to a regular occurrence from when she was young. In a recent video from the artist’s TikTok page, Bianca revealed that the song is actually about how when she was 7 years old, she would walk past her crushes while singing, thinking it would get them to notice her. This amusing fun fact explains the panning vocals that can be heard in the background throughout the song as per the creative direction of her mixer zp3nd, who had worked with her previously on ‘ONE TOO MANY (feat. jocelvn)’ and on other recent popular projects such as Denise Julia’s ‘NVMD’.

Listeners can look forward to fresh new music from Bianca in the coming months as she continues to make a name for herself in independent R&B and Pop music.
