Blindfold - NEW SINGLE OUT NOW
Blindfold
New single release - OUT NOW
Blindfold writes about the feeling of deep vulnerability and the state of confusion when you wake up from deep manipulation, not knowing whether to blame yourself for feeling as though you let it happen, or to blame the perpetrator - or both. It takes you on a journey through the thought process of putting the pieces together as you wake up from the mess of a situation that has occurred. With realizations of feeling ashamed by being bedazzled by someones' darkness and magnetically drawn to their abuse inducing mess, while also noticing the way they were in turn magnetically drawn to your state of weak vulnerability while seemingly intoxicated by your trauma. This song leaves you wondering who was the moth and who was the flame, yet in the process shows who is the real fool to blame.
“Blindfold offers a very accessible and fresh Electro Pop sound. Bella Maree delivers a very stylish vocal; the melodic arrangements build a nice deep and atmospheric ambiance with nice dreamy and enigmatic elements. Very easy on the ear, it has a great softness but also a powerful side and it is a good production overall.” - EKM.CO
