Sometimes, breakups leave more than just emotional damage—sometimes they leave smoke. In bonfire, Empty Pinata turns a wild real-life moment (his ex literally burned a box of his stuff) into a catchy and emotionally-charged indie anthem.
Blending pop, soft rock, and a splash of alt flare, bonfire delivers vulnerable storytelling with polished production. The song builds into a climactic finale, where hard-hitting drums meet a searing lead line from collaborator Gamal—a moment that hits like closure and catharsis rolled into one.
Empty Pinata's "Bonfire" ignites a personal narrative into indie-pop flames, chronicling the aftermath of a relationship through the lens of scorched memories and burned hoodies.
Co-produced with Gamal, the track masterfully blends bedroom-pop intimacy with soft rock undertones, creating a sound that's both vulnerable and vibrant. The song's authenticity shines through its storytelling, as Empty Pinata transforms a real-life breakup bonfire into a melodic confession. The production walks a delicate line between raw emotion and polished indie sensibilities. Like watching embers dance in the night sky, "Bonfire" illuminates how heartbreak can spark creative rebirth. Produced by Bloom and Gamal formerly known as “LA Rodriguez”.
