Gretel has returned with new single ‘Unbloom’, her first new music in over a year, out now via Breadcrumb Records/AWAL.
A track that almost didn’t see release, ‘Unbloom’ came together at RAK Studios in a spontaneous session that captured a live take in minutes.
Gretel explains: “Unbloom is about challenging heavy feelings by embracing them. It’s about letting yourself succumb and unfurl, just to see what’s left at your core. This was always my favourite song, but admittedly it wasn’t meant to make the record because my team didn’t dig the demo! But in fluke conditions, my band convinced me to record it in between recording other songs at RAK. We got the whole thing in about 10 mins, which was amazing considering I hadn’t taught the band the song before that! It was very spur of the moment. Felt like magic!!”
She will mark the release with a run of London underplay shows.
