Traits, Phil & Alice and Rob Da Bank. Now BLONDE areset to build upon their growing buzz with the release of their new single ‘I Loved You’.

Reiterating BLONDE’s summery cocktail of upbeat sounds and positive vibes, ‘I Loved You’ updates theclassic attributes of nineties crossover house with an intoxicating blend of piano-focused melodies, sublimebeats and a soulful vocal.

Adam Englefield and Jacob Manson met online through Englefield’s influential and still growing YouTubechannel Eton Messy which can boast 265,000 subscribers and over 43 million views. The first track theyreleased, the Bieber-sampling leftfield house of ‘Talk To You’, made an immediate impression even if atthat point the pair had never met in person. Now working on their debut album, BLONDE have collaboratedwith an array of emerging vocal talent. There’s Charli Taft, Ava; songwriter Cass Lowe; Zak Abel, whorecently signed to Atlantic; and Ryan Ashley from the PMR camp.
