Avant-garde artist Jeannel (Jeanne Amiens) has unveiled a stirring new single, ‘Blue’, and its equally moving video on 03 May 2024 via Unfelt Recordings. The video premiered on the notable tastemaker NOTION. Produced by Jeannel herself and oh.no.ty (Tory Lanez, Belly, Moses Yoofee Trio), mixed by oh.no.ty, and mastered by 4x Grammy-nominated engineer Zino Mikorey (Hans Zimmer, Thom Yorke, Metronomy, Jessie Reyez, Parcels, Sohn, The Kooks, Fred Again). The Berlin-based songwriter and producer has garnered 1.5 million streams across platform and has graced the stages of Red Bull Music Festival, Clouds Hill Festival and Reeperbahn Festival NYC Edition.
‘Blue’ is a tense yet tender elegy to the risk and rapture of falling in love. Eluding classification, it lies musically somewhere near baroque pop, but it carries the emotional potency of something beyond genre. A carefully-picked cello plays a lilting, slow rhythm that carries Jeannel’s rich, honeyed vocals, reminiscent of Lana Del Rey’s. Heavenly choral vocals swell, awash with feeling. Gliding cello notes weave in and out of the delicate fray, leaving brush strokes of emotion in their wake. This is a moving track sure to be enjoyed by fans of Bjork, Jessie Jo Stark and Laura Marling.
Jeannel divulged: “‘Blue’ is a homage to the multitudes of love’s stages, to the blissful and soul crushing faces of love, and a tribute to a love I lost, that really shattered me and brought me to the very edge of my own humanness, my sanity and fragility, but above all showed me my capacity to love. There I find strength in the bitter-sweetness of life, knowing the tremendous courage it takes to love and therefore live fully, and I hope it encourages other people too.”
