Blond:ish announces new album never walk alone
Uplifting new project serves as a friend in times of loneliness
BLOND:ISH unveils plans for her compassionate new body of work, Never Walk Alone, her second studio album forthcoming via Insomniac Records on February 14, 2025. Alongside the announcement comes the new single “Can’t Let You Go,” featuring Zimbabwe singer and producer Bantu.
In a world full of isolation and an ever-growing need to focus on mental health, Never Walk Alone (and its title track released this summer) is meant to serve as a friend in times of anxiety and loneliness. The previous single, “Different Way,” reminded us that even though we all endlessly compare ourselves to others, everyone’s journey is unique. With “Can’t Let You Go,” BLOND:ISH explores the bittersweet tug-of-war between hello and goodbye with a loved one.
“Meeting Bantu was a super sweet random encounter. We went deep pretty quickly. I spoke to him about the intentions infused into this album. I wanted it to open up people into discovering they are their own best friend -- and he immediately wanted to add his distinct flavor.”
— BLOND:ISH
BLOND:ISH has woven a thread of positive messaging through her most recent singles, along with masterfully blending a tonic of genres that aim to beam her compassionate transmissions far and wide. While the late summer mood-lifter “Never Walk Alone” called on pop, indie, and soul, “Different Way” combines surf rock, synth pop, and house music. On “Can’t Let You Go,” BLOND:ISH, alongside Bantu, polishes her natural love for Afro-house, a genre that has been a staple in her DJ sets. The goal is that these songs push the planet closer to “Happy Happy World” (an inclusive place of sustainable unity, respect, and nourishment).
NEVER WALK ALONE VINYL
BLOND:ISH is inviting fans to become a part of her new album’s story by submitting a photo with a bestie or loved one. These personal snaps will be woven into a unique mosaic that’s featured exclusively on the limited edition vinyl package. Fans will have the chance to submit their photos on her Instagram Broadcast channel for full info.
