Bonnie Freechild’s New Single Honey Marks the Middle of Summer 

Brand new from UK songwriter Bonnie Freechild, “Honey” lands as a soulful, summer-ready anthem that glows with both heart and heat. Bonnie, an exciting artist who’s already caught the attention of BBC 1Xtra as an Arts Fund bursary recipient and winner of Best Original R&B Song at the BBC Proms, delivers a track that’s smooth, sincere, and impossible to ignore.

Where her 2024 single “Goddess” was a fierce declaration of empowerment, “Honey” softens into a different kind of strength. With shimmering vocals laid over a warm, understated groove, it captures the sweetness of connection and the power of self-acceptance. This is Bonnie in her element, reminding us that real confidence isn’t about perfection, but about showing up authentically, embracing both your softness and your fire.

Much like her previous single “Dopamine,” which sparked a street campaign gifting handwritten compliments to strangers across London, “Honey” feeds into Bonnie’s bigger vision: music as a vehicle for connection, creativity, and community. It’s less about hype and more about heart: an extension of her ongoing work championing inclusion, wellbeing, and belonging, whether through her corporate leadership, her support of initiatives like 1 Million Mentors and Not a Phase, or her role on the London Pride Committee.With “Honey,” Bonnie Freechild shows once again why she’s one of the UK’s most compelling new voices. An anthem for the summer, a soundtrack for self-love, and a powerful reminder that sweetness and strength often come wrapped together.
