Christelle Bofale’s pensive lyricism and hauntingly smooth voice are hitting harder than ever these days. In these chaotic, uncertain times, the Congolese-American indie artist's unabashed vulnerability and beautifully self-reflective tone provide listeners with a much-needed calm and allow them the space to sit with their emotions.

"The songs on Swim Team narrate a time filled with heartbreak, depression, and moving on,” Bofale said. “For me, emotions can feel like a body of water, like a pool; the title Swim Team references the people who you wade, drown, float, jump, and splash in those emotions with. The EP is a personal symbol of survival to me."
