Bonnie first came to attention when she became a finalist on the first season of Australia's Got Talent at age 12. She eventually won the season. She was offered recording and management contracts soon after, and Anderson declined them to "just be a kid for a while". She started working on her songwriting and playing musical instruments to help her in the industry. At the age of 15 Bonnie was also one of the worlds best Connect 4 players in her age group.
In 2012, Bonnie was featured in a cover of Gonna Make You Sweat with fellow Got Talent allumni Justice Crew. It was the theme song to short lived dance show Everybody Dance Now. Her debut single, written by the DNA duo, was released on November 8, 2013.
On June 13, 2014, Anderson released a new single, titled "Blackout" Bonnie is embracing a highly stylised look for the imagery around "Blackout", calling on a reactive A-Team composed of last year's ARIA award winner for Best Video Director, Christopher Frey, and celebrity photographer, Peter Bre-Bevan. The video for "Blackout" provides a definitive insight in to Bonnie's evolving personality and risqué style.
With over 150 gigs, her debut single "Raise The Bar" and a recent Australian tour with UK Superstar Olly Murs under belt, Bonnie Anderson is ready for the next phase in her ever-evolving career.
Bonnie Anderson is managed by Ralph Carr Management and she is signed to Sony Music.
Blackout
Bonnie Anderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knows how to make me sweat
He got it, got it
I'm 'bout to do it to you, you, you
Oh, boy, what am I supposed to do?
You ignited, can't fight it
Joy riding, we all-nightin'
He got it, got it
He got it, got it
Running with fire, danger
Got us on the edge of losing our power
Take me down
Better turn them lights out
Turn them out, out, out
Boy, I'll take it for myself
Right now, now, now
Right now, now, now
Right now, now, now (Now)
Can I get a blackout?
Show me your bag of tricks
Put it on me
You know I'll handle it
Like my body
Tonight I'm loving you, you, you, you, you
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
You ignited, can't fight it
Joy riding, we all-nightin'
Show me your bag of tricks
Put it on me, put it on me
Running with fire, danger
Got us on the edge of losing our power
Take me down
Better turn them lights out
Turn them out, out, out
Boy, I'll take it for myself
Right now, now, now
Right now, now, now
Right now, now, now (Now)
Can I get a blackout?
In a black haze, raw emotion
You're the only one in focus
In darkness we're floating, floating
Running with fire, danger
Got us on the edge of losing our power
Take me down
Better turn them lights out, out, out
Turn them out, out, out
Wanna take you for myself
Right now, now, now
Right now, now, now
Right now, now, now (Now)
Can I get a blackout? Yeah
The lyrics of Bonnie Anderson's song "Blackout" depict a passionate encounter between lovers. Anderson is enamored with her partner, who is tattooed and knows how to make her sweat. She's willing to do anything to please him, but she doesn't know what she's supposed to do to satisfy him. The chorus repeats the phrase "Better turn them lights out" several times, conveying the idea that the lovers want to be fully consumed by their passion, without distractions or inhibitions.
The verse "In a black haze, raw emotion/You're the only one in focus/In darkness we're floating, floating" illustrates the intensity of the emotions shared between the lovers. They are so consumed by their passion that nothing else matters. The desire for a "blackout" represents the need for complete immersion in the experience, without any external distractions or interruptions.
The song's production, which features a mix of electronic and acoustic elements, adds to the intensity of the lyrics. The repetitive chorus and driving beat create a sense of urgency, while Anderson's vocals are passionate and confident.
