Blondshell Unveils New Single “23’s A Baby”
Blondshell’s New Single Is a Whimsical Exploration of Twenties Turmoil
In a candid reflection on the dissonance of young adulthood, Blondshell has unveiled her latest single, a captivating track that dives deep into the tumultuous feelings of being in your twenties and grappling with identity. The artist described the song as "partially about being in your twenties and feeling like you’re supposed to know everything (your parents even had kids around that age!) yet you’re truly in the weeds trying to figure out who you are." With a desire to balance the weighty subject matter, she infuses the track with a playful, nursery rhyme-like quality that invites listeners into her journey without overshadowing the seriousness of her message.
To complement this contemplative soundscape, Blondshell has also released a visually striking music video directed by Yazz Jansen. Drawing inspiration from the whimsical world of the DILFS of Disneyland Instagram account, the video amplifies the song’s themes with a vibrant imagination that showcases the peculiar beauty of navigating midlife chaos.
This latest single comes from Blondshell’s upcoming second album, If You Asked For A Picture, which follows her self-titled debut—a release that earned her rave reviews for its relentless honesty and relatable narratives. The anticipation is palpable, especially after recent singles like "What’s Fair," which cheekily saw Blondshell’s lyrical prowess given a Sims-inspired twist, and "Docket," her collaborative effort with alt-rockers Bully.
As if that weren’t enough to keep her fans buzzing, Blondshell has announced an extensive UK and EU tour set for September. The singer-songwriter is upgrading venues in key cities, including an exciting second headline show at Electric Brixton and refreshed locations in Dublin and Glasgow. This tour promises to be an exhilarating experience, as she continues to connect with audiences through both her music and her candid storytelling.
With her unique blend of sincerity and quirky imagination, Blondshell is swiftly carving out a space for herself in the indie-pop landscape, and this new single reinforces her growing relevance in the music scene. As she fearlessly explores the complexities of young adulthood, one thing is clear: listeners will be eagerly following along for the ride.
