Get to know Bruno Major through his songs!
Bruno Major is a British singer-songwriter and guitarist. He first gained attention with his 2016 debut single Wouldn’t Mean a Thing, which was featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist.
Since then, he has released several extended plays (EP) and two full-length albums, A Song for Every Moon in 2017 and To Let A Good Thing Die in 2020.
He dropped his newest single called We Were Never Really Friends several hours before the announcement of his world tour.
Major’s music is often characterized by his soulful and smooth voice and acoustic guitar-based instrumentation.
His lyrics frequently explore themes of love, heartbreak, and the human condition. He has cited artists such as Jeff Buckley, D’Angelo, and Radiohead as influences on his music.
For instance, in his debut song Wouldn’t Mean a Thing, the lyrics express a feeling of uncertainty about a relationship, with Major singing lines such as “Tell me why you love me, I don’t know / If it’s for real or just for show.”
He also acknowledges the possibility that the relationship might not last, singing “Maybe we’ll crash and burn, maybe we’ll leave a legacy.”
The song’s simple yet emotionally resonant lyrics, combined with Major’s soulful vocals and understated guitar playing, have helped to make it one of his most popular and enduring tracks.
Meanwhile, another fan-favorite track, The Most Beautiful Thing, describes a person’s profound sense of love and appreciation for someone.
The song’s chorus features Major repeating the phrase “I love you” over and over, with the intensity of his voice increasing with each repetition.
While the song is undoubtedly a love song, its meaning is open to interpretation. Some listeners may interpret the lyrics as being about romantic love, while others may hear it as being about a deep sense of connection with a friend, family member, or even a higher power.
Overall, The Most Beautiful Thing is a powerful and emotionally resonant song that showcases Major’s ability to capture complex emotions in simple yet profound lyrics.
In addition to his solo work, Major has also collaborated with other artists, including producer SG Lewis on the track Times We Had and singer-songwriter Liv Dawson on the song Hush.
He has also performed as the opening act for artists such as Sam Smith, Nick Mulvey, and Lianne La Havas.
