Blondshell Releases New Song “Event of a Fire”
Los Angeles-based indie rock singer-songwriter Blondshell will release her upcoming sophomore album “If You Asked For A Picture” this Friday (May 2).
From the album, she released the fifth and final pre-release single called “Event of a Fire” on April 30, 2025.
The song was inspired by real a 4am hotel fire evacuation outside Boston. She wrote the song during tour-induced burnout.
It was written by Sabrina Teitelbaum and produced by Yves Rothman.
The accompanying music video was directed by Emile Moutaud, starring French actress Ghjuvanna Benedetti.
Blondshell said of the song, “It’s not really ‘what if I’m burnt out from touring’. It’s like, ‘what if I’m burnt out from just existing?”- The new album comprises 12 songs, produced by Yves Rothman. It is her first album in two years since the 2023 debut album “Blondshell”.
The album’s title references the 1986 poem “Dogfish” by American writer Mary Oliver.
Sabrina Teitelbaum said, “There’s a part of the poem that says: ‘I don’t need to tell you everything I’ve been through. It’s just another story of somebody trying to survive,’. Something I love about songs is that you’re showing a snapshot of a person or a relationship, and showing a glimpse into a story can be just as important as trying to capture the entire thing. Sometimes it’s even truer to the entire picture than if you tried to write everything down.” -
