Serving as a sonic time capsule, ‘Emblem of America’ EP takes its name from a historical print depicting an allegorical indigenous American. B-Dot draws parallels between contemporary life and ancient times, invoking childhood memories of digging fossils with archeological tools, the re-discovery of her roots and lineage and nostalgic musical references.

‘Emblem of America’ traverses through club-focused tracks such as ‘Scalp Collector’ and ‘Tears of Diamond’ which soundscape freedom and release on dance floors, to honest moments of introspection. Lead single ‘Honeymoon’ featuring artist D3AD6OY marks a pivotal turning point in B-Dot’s production, pushing her vocal boundaries into a fuller dynamic range. Balancing sensuality, a shared reverence for 90s R&B, and written with a sexy music video in mind, lyrically the track explores a space of intense attraction between two people: “when I look in your eyes, I’m on a honeymoon”.

‘Gift of Discernment’ embraces vulnerability, speaking to the sadness of seeing people’s true colours, and feelings of ostracisation and rejection. As she sings “I see through the fakes and smiling faces”, B-Dot translates her pain into resilience, intentionally stripping back production to symbolise overcoming shyness and singing for an audience. Closing with a deep sense of longing on percussive ‘Dream the Star’, across five tracks the EP is a portal into the emotional veneration and tenderness that underscores B-Dot’s work, as she forges new ground in her journey as a vocalist.

B-Dot is a Philadelphia-born music artist whose genre-defying creations weave ethereal, atmospheric soundscapes, inviting listeners into realms of reflection and raw emotion. Drawing from her Black, American Indian and Puerto Rican roots, B-Dot's music explores themes of identity, history, mood, and texture. She began DJing and cultivating her artistry in New York City in 2015, and independently released her first two albums ‘Algorhythm’ and ‘Love Note’.
