Bôa on Reuniting After 1998 Single ‘Duvet’ Enchants New Generation of Fans

Thania Garcia British alt-rock band Bôa has lived more than a few lifetimes. The group, comprised of vocalist Jasmine Rodgers and musicians Alex Caird and Lee Sullivan, got its start as a casual jam session between local musicians in Rodgers’ home studio in the early ’90s.

Rodgers wasn’t even technically in the band at the time, but the upstairs studio they rehearsed in was attached to the home she shared with her brother Steve and her father Paul Rodgers, singer for the classic rock bands Free and Bad Company. “It was natural for everybody to go there and rehearse and I wouldn’t stop singing downstairs,” Rodgers tells Variety over a Zoom call. “I remember Alex being like, ‘Do you want to, just kind of, sing?’… When we were coming up, locals knew locals and all we would do is play… I don’t remember actually going out.

We would go on long walks through the forest on the outskirts of London, the summary backwater, at like three or four in the morning when we were done rehearsing and it was actually quite weirdly healthy.” Listening to Bôa’s 1998 single “Duvet” will give you a similar feeling.

It’s nostalgic and tender, painting a colorful picture of intermingling instruments that come together to build a chirpy, guitar-pop sound.
