Blondshell – Blondshell (Deluxe)
One of this year’s most exciting breakthrough artists, Blondshell (Sabrina Teitelbaum), has today released a special Deluxe Edition of her self-titled debut album via Partisan Records.
Necessitated by the resounding success of her music – measured not just in global sold-out tours, TV performances, and rave reviews, but also in Teitelbaum’s ever-deepening resonance with a devoted fan base – Blondshell Deluxe Edition is anchored by five additional tracks in addition to the original album. The five include a Bossa-Nova-esque reworking of “Tarmac” (dubbed “Tarmac 2”), the previously released standalone single (“Cartoon Earthquake”), and a home demo version of “Kiss City.” The Deluxe version also features two new songs – the open-hearted grunge ballad “Street Rat,” and “It Wasn’t Love,” a llilting, haunting, organ-filled ode to a queer relationship.
Sabrina Teitelbaum quote about “It Wasn’t Love”:
“There are so many times that I thought I was in love but I was actually just feeling longing, desperation or confusion about my self worth. I think that was the case with a lot of the relationships I wrote about on my album. I talked about love and romance as a way of talking about more fundamental conflicts within myself. This song is my way of saying that my perspective has changed on those past relationships and what actually qualifies as love, particularly in the context of a queer relationship.”
