Reviews:

"Earned It (Fifty Shades of Funk)" is an immediately appealing effort with polished production and appealing versatile funk-tinged vocals. Fondly enough, Chromeo is an immediate point of comparison ... Haan's sound is on-par in terms of polish and - in my opinion - touts an even more inventive sound, more in the territory of Ford & Lopatin while remaining in the electro-tinged funk-pop realm. With its irresistibly infectious chorus, there's no reason this track shouldn't be making waves in the blogosphere; it certainly meets all the parameters for a hit." - http://ObscureSound.com

"... compelling rhythm and funky as hell!" - http://WeAreGoingSolo.com

"Great stuff ... really liking the Prince/Nile Rodgers-esqueness." - http://StageDoor.fm

Funk d'Asie - Vol. 1 - Funk Fu (Sawtelle House Party DJ Set)

Hot off the heels of his electrofunk cover/remix masterpiece "Funkified", Bo Haan returns with a brand new retrosoul groove. Inspired by a real conversation, the song "Undefined" reflects on the state of modern relationships through a lush, jazz-tinged soundscape achievable only with a big horn section and a live recording. "Undefined" demonstrates again that Haan has the vocal, lyrical, and musical chops to deliver pure musical bliss. 

Come for the hook - stay for the guitar solo.

Lyrics:

Does she love me? Do I love her?
These are questions I don't really want to answer
Is it just me? Is there another?
She wanna set the rules - I say why even bother.

Let's leave it undefined
I can't cross ya, if you don't draw a line
Let's leave it undefined
I won't hurt ya, or waste you time

Is she faithful? Am I also?
Those are things that I don't need to know
Am I fearful that she'd let go?
If it's meant to be, I've got no grudge to hold.

Let's leave it undefined
I can't cross ya, if you don't draw a line
Let's leave it undefined
I won't hurt ya, or waste you time
Let's leave it undefined
I won't stop ya, whatever your heart finds
Let's leave it undefined
I'll still love ya, still call you mine

Don't you give it a name
Don't play into that game
Don't you worry - I love you just the same

Don't be one of the fools
Don't you play by the rules
Let's just leave it undefined

(Guitar solo)

Let's leave it undefined
I can't cross ya, if you don't draw a line
Let's leave it undefined
I won't hurt ya, or waste you time
Let's leave it undefined
I won't stop ya, whatever your heart finds
Let's leave it undefined
I'll still love ya, still call you mine

Just let it go
Just leave it be
We don't need to talk about it
You get yours and I get mine

Lyrics:

I'm at your beck and call,
but you don't have my number.
I'm down to catch you fall -
if you would let me closer.

And if I could fool you now
I'd make you think I'm beautiful.
But if you lose me now -
you wouldn't even notice.

so Imma be your ghost
your poltergeist
cuz I scare you the most
when I'm being nice
Imma be your ghost
supernatural
cuz you like me the most when I'm invisible

Imma be your ghost
your poltergeist
I'll give you the most
when you close your eyes
Imma be your ghost
super natural
Would you let me close if I'm invisible?

Let me be your ghost
Let me be your ghost

I'll get you through the walls
whenever you're in danger
You make me give it all
but to you I'm just a stranger

And if I could fool you now
I'd make you think I'm beautiful.
But if you lose me now -
you wouldn't even notice.

so Imma be your ghost
your poltergeist
cuz I scare you the most
when I'm being nice
Imma be your ghost
supernatural
cuz you like me the most when I'm invisible

Imma be your ghost
your poltergeist
I'll give you the most
when you close your eyes
Imma be your ghost
super natural
Would you let me close if I'm invisible?

Let me be your ghost
Let me be your ghost
Let me be your ghost
Let me be your ghost

Bo Haan = pop moves + smooth grooves.  A master of his own brand of morally-ambiguous funk-pop, Bo Haan is the gyrating half of the Los Angeles electronica duo The Blemish.  In 2015, Haan self-released “Funkified” - an album of funked-up cover songs - as a semi-satirical side project poking fun at the mind-numbing simplicity of modern pop music. The album quickly gained traction in the underground electrofunk and dance community, and the groove man took the hint and followed up with a series of singles all with a unique lyrical focus on challenging traditional monogamous relationships. Since then, Haan appears to have found his niche audience and has had continued success with his formula of infectious grooves, catchy hooks, and polyamorous musings.
