Washington, D.C.-based queer artist Bryce Bowyn sharpens the tension between desire and uncertainty on Telekinetic, his follow-up to Adonis and another glimpse into his forthcoming album Fever Dream. The song takes an inexplicable connection and gives it the proportions of something almost impossible to resist, drawing on the late-2000s pop instincts and darker sensibilities that shape Bowyn’s electro-pop.
Telekinetic feels like a fever dream you have no desire to wake up from. From the opening beats, the song exerts a magnetic pull. Distorted vocals and surreal synths transform that sense of inexplicable attraction into a soundscape charged with dance-floor energy. The chorus is particularly exhilarating, sustaining its fierce momentum from beginning to end.

While he cites Depeche Mode and Madonna as core influences, Telekinetic gives those foundations a more textured tension reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails and captures the playful irreverence of peak Britney Spears. The result still feels immediate and unmistakably pop, but with a darker edge.
Bowyn’s live work has taken him from D.C.’s Capital Pride to support slots alongside GIRLI, Dixon Dallas, and Vendredi Sur Mer. That range reflects the openness of his musical identity, while his advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights and mental health remains closely tied to the personal perspective behind his songwriting.
Telekinetic fits comfortably within Bryce Bowyn’s growing body of work, where polished pop instincts meet sharper emotional and sonic edges. With Fever Dream on the horizon, the single adds another layer to an album that already promises a more expansive side of his artistic identity.
