Blossoms have also released the second single from their upcoming album, Meet Me In Love, which offers a further glimpse into their new world. While its predecessor, Joke About Divorce, found humour in the kind of ill-judged comment that can emerge during an argument with your spouse, this new track shifts the focus to romance, pairing an irresistible disco groove with one of the album's stand-out moments. The track also features backing vocals from fellow British songwriter and musician Declan McKenna.
Speaking about the single, frontman Tom explains:
‘Meet Me In Love ' was written on a songwriting trip to the Lake District with Natalie Findlay and Jules Apollinaire. As often happens, it was the last day and we’d pretty much accepted that there probably weren’t any more songs left to write. We started messing around with a simple two-chord disco groove and, within a couple of hours, the whole thing seemed to fall into place.
It’s one of those songs that felt exciting from the moment it arrived. I remember driving home from the Lakes listening to the demo on repeat for most of the journey. We later finished the recording with Shawn Lee at Tilehouse Studios, tracking live to tape, but a lot of what made us fall in love with the song in the first place came from that original demo, so plenty of those parts survived onto the final record.’
The accompanying video features a starring role from Maya Jama.
