Now, B00ty is what you get when you put two Los Angeles based singer/producers Edan Freiberger and Adam Epelbaum together. The two whose ‘70s soul + Marvin Gaye-esque caught the attention of Geffen Records just released their latest track “Modern Romance” to the masses which has us excited for the debut EP later this year.
Los Angeles duo B00ty are an electronic duo known for their hooky brand of soul-influenced, dance-oriented pop. Since 2016 they have grabbed listeners with tracks like "Carry the Load," "Holy," and "Modern Romance."
Formed in 2014, B00ty came together while bandmates Edan Freiberger and Adam Epelbaum were studying theater, film, and television at UCLA. Prior to joining forces, Freiberger had taken classical violin since age four and had produced his own music; conversely, Epelbaum had been involved in theater, as well as hip-hop. It was while living in the famed Sheats Apartments building (aka "The Treehouse") that they began working on music together, bringing together their artistic influences with their love of '70s soul, electronic dance, and pop.
In 2016, they issued the slow, '70s-style R&B jam "Carry the Load," and paired with Auralponic and HumbleRatt for "Bad Reputation." More tracks followed such as "Loosen Up," "Funky Sista," and a cover of SZA's "The Weekend." They signed with Geffen Records and in 2019 issued their debut EP, High Art, which included the tracks "Good for It" and "Trust Me" featuring Kill Nigel. ~ Matt Collar
Holy
B00ty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To give for granted
I need you just as you are
You understand me
There is no love in the world
Where did they stash it?
The answer to all of my prayers
You're the ligth in my eyes
You been send from above
To be only mine
When I hold you in my arms
You been send from above
To be only mine
There's no other place ...
There is no key to your heart
No secret password
When you...
There's always disaster
We talk
We can only try harder
I know this life can be loved
But I'll hold you after
The lyrics in B00ty's song Holy convey a sense of longing for a deep, meaningful connection. The first verse mentions how the world may seem hopeless, but having that special someone who understands and accepts you just as you are can be a source of hope and light. The mention of no love in the world and questioning where it has gone may allude to the idea that love is not always easy to find or maintain. However, the chorus brings a sense of comfort as the singer expresses how the person they hold in their arms was sent from above to be solely theirs.
In the second verse, there is a mention of no key to the heart of the other person and no secret password. This may suggest that the relationship is built on trust and authenticity rather than any false pretenses or trying to change aspects of oneself to fit someone else's ideal. The mention of disasters and the need to try harder could be a reflection of the challenges that come with any relationship, but the sentiment that life can still be loved despite this serves as a reminder that the hard work is worth it.
Overall, the lyrics of Holy convey a message that love is not always easy to find or maintain, but when you do find that special connection, it can bring hope, light, and comfort through life's ups and downs.

Lyrics
There is no hope in the world
Took it for granted
I need you just as you are
You understand me
There is no love in the world
Where did they stash it?
The answer to all of my prayers
Won't waste a second
You're the light in my eyes
When I hold you in my arms
I feel holy like a god
You been sent from above
To be all of mine
When I hold you in my arms
I feel holy like a god
You been sent from above
To be all of mine
There's no other place in time for me
There is no key to your heart
No secret password
When you lie from the start
There's always disaster
We can't talk it aloud
We can only try harder
I know this life can be long
But I'll hold you after
(???) my love...
When I hold you in my arms
I feel holy like a god
You been sent from above
To be all of mine
When I hold you in my arms
I feel holy like a god
You been sent from above
To be all of mine
I will never do you wrong, no, no. (3x)
Nothing's at all like it was
Before you were with me
I'd follow you just because
You're what I need, baby...
When I hold you in my arms
I feel holy like a god
You been sent from above
To be all of mine
When I hold you in my arms
I feel holy like a god
You been sent from above
To be all of mine...
