Blossoms reveal their brand-new single Care For and its accompanying video… The video is directed by Edwin Burdis, Arctic Monkeys’ former Creative Director who worked on the band’s Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino and AM albums. Care For, produced by James Skelly (The Coral) and Rich Turvey, is the first new music from Blossoms since their double A-side Christmas single Christmas Eve (Soul Purpose)/It’s Going To Be A Cold Winter, released in 2020.
BLOSSOMS REVEAL “CARE FOR”
Speaking about Care For, Tom Ogden of Blossoms says:
‘I spent a lot of lockdown listening to The Style Council, Diana Ross, John & Yoko’s Double Fantasy & Billy Ocean. In my head, they all come together on this tune, to help create the ultimate end of the evening, wedding disco dance’.
UK TOUR
Blossoms are set to play an extended run of live dates over the coming months, with the band’s rescheduled UK tour kicking off at Hull’s Bonus Arena on 30th August. The tour also features a headline show at Manchester’s AO Arena, as well as three dates at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London. The band will also support Courteeners at their Old Trafford Cricket Ground date on 25th September.
