R&B duo Bathe released their debut EP, ‘I’ll Miss You,’ in 2019, introducing their distinctive blend of introspective lyrics and atmospheric production. Comprising singer-songwriter Devin Hobdy and producer Corey Smith-West, Bathe formed following prior collaborations in various musical projects, notably including the group Indigold with Ivy Sole. The duo dedicated their early work to developing a ‘velvety, shimmering sonic universe,’ integrating diverse influences such as surf-rock, Caribbean music, and traditional R&B. This foundational sound established their unique approach to exploring themes of home, identity, and community within their music.
With a consistent focus on a cohesive artistic vision, Bathe continues to captivate listeners with their genre-defying sound and thoughtful lyrical narratives. Their established body of work, from the atmospheric debut of ‘I’ll Miss You’ to the expansive soundscapes of ‘Bicoastal,’ demonstrates their commitment to authentic storytelling and innovative production. Bathe’s distinct blend of surf-rock and R&B, infused with global rhythmic influences, positions them as a compelling and sought-after act in contemporary music, consistently pushing creative boundaries while maintaining a profound connection to their artistic roots.
