This has come out of nowhere! Blossoms have a new tune "Care For" which is Radio 1's Hottest Record tomorrow! Hopefully the new album announcement is soon

They're leaning into the disco-rock sound they had elements of on their last album. I approve.

Fantastic news! ‘Care For’ didn’t seem to get much of a push (did Radio 1 playlist it?) so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the actual lead single for the new album.

Yes it was C List for 5 weeks. Radio 2 also had it on their B List.

Ah never mind then! laugh.gif Still though I wouldn’t be surprise if it’s not on the album with how long it’s been since it released!

I'd be happy if they glossed over 'Care For', it's my least favourite Blossoms single to date. They've released some absolute bangers though, looking forward to hearing the new one.

What's wrong with 'Care For'?

But yeah, it's been so long since that I wouldn't be surprised to see that not actually be a part of the album.

Fourth album 'Ribbon Around The Bomb' is out on April 29th, the title track is out now! I do love the album cover, though it's a shame it's not continuing in the same visual style as their first 3! (I love their new logo too)

Tracklisting:

1. The Writer's Theme
2. Ode To NYC
3. Ribbon Around The Bomb
4. The Sulking Poet
5. Born Wild
6. The Writer
7. Everything About You
8. Care For
9. Cinerama Holy Days
10. Edith Machinist
11. Visions
12. The Last Chapter

The Deluxe version also includes a 'Live At Sefton Park' album from their show last year, and 'Piano Versions' of the entire album.

Can see us only getting two songs before album release which is good!

Well ‘Care For’ is on there, so I’d expect at least one more before the album bringing us up to 3!

'Ribbon Around The Bomb' is a definite improvement on 'Care For' which I didn't really... care for. I'm still a bit underwhelmed compared to their previous eras though unsure.gif

'Ribbon Around The Bomb' really did grow on me, though new single 'Ode to NYC' is out tomorrow and sounds absolutely *fantastic*! Easily my favourite so far in this era.

I’m currently enjoying it on my playlist but it’s nothing compared to the songs from the last album yet!
