Geordie Greep shares latest album preview ‘Blues’

It’s the former black midi frontman’s second solo single.

black midi's Geordie Greep shares latest preview of 'The New Sound', 'Blues'

Having recently confirmed the indefinite hiatus of black midi, Geordie Greep has now unveiled the second single from his forthcoming debut solo album, ‘The New Sound’

Entitled ‘Blues’, the new track follows previous release ‘Holy, Holy’, and arrives accompanied by a live performance video filmed at New York’s TV Eye last month, on 12th September (watch it below). 

Speaking about the experience of going solo, Geordie has commented: “With recording ‘The New Sound’, it was the first time I have had no one to answer to. And with every impulse I had, I was able to completely follow it through to its conclusion. Being in a band (black midi), we often have this ‘we can do everything’ feeling, but you are also kind of limited in that approach, and sometimes it’s good to do something else, to let go of things.”

What’s more, he’s also just added a number of new dates to his forthcoming international tour, which will see him play venues across the UK, Europe, and North America between now and May 2025.
