Richmond, Virginia-based alt rock band Broadside released a new single last week called “Bleu,” the latest single off the band’s upcoming album Hotel Bleu, which comes out Friday from SharpTone Records.
“’Bleu’ is a song I wrote about my fiancé,” explains frontman Oliver Baxxter about the new single. “A phone call changed our lives as the doctor on the other line said a prayer after he gave us the news that the tumor in her chest was breast cancer. We cried on the living room floor for two days after that until, eventually, we found the strength to call our family and friends. I couldn’t accept that someone who I’d lived and breathed with every day was about to endure one of the most demanding challenges of her life. ‘Bleu’ is a love letter to anyone who has ever experienced the sudden realization of such an unforgiving and cruel disease.”
Along with the song, the band released a music video directed by Alex Zarek. Check out the video below.
