Blondshell Unleashes New LP "Violins" and Title Track

Blondshell gave us a first preview of her third album with “Heart Has to Work So Hard” last month, and now she’s officially announced Violins , due out September 25 via Partisan. It’s the follow-up to last year’s If You Asked for a Picture , and it was produced by regular collaborator Yves Rothman. “This record’s heavy in a way,” she says. “There’s more imagery. But my main goal with this record was to have songs that hit hard. I wanted big lead lines.” She adds, “I felt like I wasn’t walking in the dark anymore. I spend more time with Yves than almost anybody – we just have such an efficient working relationship.”

She’s also shared a second single, the title track. “This song sums up the album in a lot of ways,” she says. “When I was writing I felt really drawn to images of patience and kindness, for example putting your head on someone’s shoulder, alongside images of violence. I was also inspired by the idea of healing slowly and refusing to be rushed by any outside force. Things genuinely just take the time they take. I’m not at a point in life where I can have a no assholes policy yet, but I like the idea of weeding out people that aren’t going to let me have limitations.”
