Sydney-raised, LA-based, genre-bending artist, The Blossom, today shares their latest single, 'STILL WITH U'. Listen HERE and watch HERE

'STILL WITH U' follows The Blossom’s previous single, 'Angel Fangs', a track centered on acoustic guitar, lonely, auto-tuned vocals, and painstakingly vulnerable lyrics. The Blossom’s stark, relatable songwriting was on full display and the track drew praise from the like of Purple Sneakers, Lyrical Lemonade, NME Australia, Dublab, FBi Radio, and more.

While 'Angel Fangs' was stripped back, 'STILL WITH U' is in-your-face and unapologetic, blending elements of pop, hip hop, and grunge in an intriguing yet cohesive fashion. Commanding 808s and trap drums meet electric guitars and auto-tuned vocals, offering an inimitable, innovative and addictive result.

On the track, The Blossom shares that "Still With U was written in my bedroom closet at 1AM. Sometimes it feels as if it's about one of the very many 'burning from the inside out' kind of toxic relationships I've had, other times it feels as if it's about me singing to myself. In a way, it is a serenade to 'still being with' the darker sides of myself that I try so hard to change or move through. Sonically, it's a hybrid of my favourite textures: bouncing between feelings of hopefulness, restlessness, release, and tension."
