Blondshell - "Two Times"

No one is doing the indie rock meets alt-pop thing quite like Blondshell. Sabrina Teitelbaum's musical project just released a new single that is set to blow minds. "Two Times" is a stunning piano and acoustic guitar ballad that is as simple and as lush as it could possibly be. Teitelbaum's vocals and lyrics are at the forefront of the track, and while she's always been a fantastic songwriter (just watch her play the song "Sepsis" live and listen to the scream along lyric "The sex is almost always bad / I don't care 'cause I'm in love" to see how much her lyrics resonate with her audience), but she's on a completely new level with "Two Times." As someone who is usually focuses on the sound of the song first and the lyrics second or third, the lyrics of this one grabbed me immediately. Expect this one to be a popular wedding song for the Gen-Z crowd.

Sabrina Teitelbaum says of her latest single:

“I feel like I’m always seeing movies and shows where conflict is the only way love is expressed. It’s a lot of stories where someone has to work really hard to get somebody else to love them, and that’s what seems to make the relationship valuable. This song was basically like, what if it’s just solid? What if it’s just good and the relationship’s healthy? Does that mean it is less valuable? I think that’s a painful question because it’s essentially asking how capable you are of being in a decent relationship. But it’s also a love song in that way.”
