With their eagerly-awaited new album landing later this year, Sundara Karma have now dropped the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.
The new single 'Baby Blue' follows on from the previously shared lead track 'Friends Of Mine' in previewing their new LP 'Better Luck Next Time', which is out on the 27th October.
Speaking about the new offering, vocalist Oscar Pollock said, "It's not common for me to write a structured chord progression and vocal melody for an entire song in one sitting, but that's exactly how this song came together. Surprisingly, it flowed effortlessly, much to my delight. Drawing from the melody and the overall vibe, I knew the sentiment had to be super relatable. I asked myself, 'What could be more relatable than falling for someone you know will eventually destroy you?' Falling in love fills an emptiness within me; it truly makes all the bad things in my life go away. However, it’s selfish to approach love like this and the price is undeniably heavy.
"With that in mind, I set myself the task of creating a character—a person onto whom I could project all the lost love in my life, someone who would serve as the centrepiece of the song's story. Enter 'Blue,' also known as 'Baby Blue'—the embodiment of the person we all want, and perhaps even attain, but can never keep."
