Quebec City-based The Blaze Velluto Collection shares new single and video 'Friends' out now on all digital streaming platforms via Duprince Records. Listen here.
'Friends' is the third single from The Blaze Velluto Collection's third LP What's On Your Mind? set for release on September 29th. With its enigmatic rhythms, 'Friends' captivates the ear with a theme that's easy to relate to: friendship.
"'Friends' is an ode to these people that come and go in our lives," says Blaze. "Some are there for a while, and some are here to stay. You might not see each other often, but when true love exists, they could be dead and still you'd know they're watching your back. Some individuals are there to serve a purpose, others appear momentarily and may be the best person you’ve ever met...circumstances. In our lifetime, we get to be all of them."
The Blaze Velluto Collection takes its name from a collection of songs assembled by the enigmatic Blaze himself. Raised in Quebec City’s anglophone community, he carries a music without boundaries through a blend of rock n' roll, folk, country, pop and R&B, wrapped in a benevolent psychedelic spirit and fertile imagery. This amalgam of genres also shines through the project's iconic visual identity. Over the years, Blaze has delivered music videos that transcend the limits of the mind.
Since releasing their debut album Weatherman in 2017, The Blaze Velluto Collection has captivated Quebec and Canadian audiences, playing in festivals with a show that transports us to coastal America in the heart of July. On stage, Blaze is surrounded by a core group of musicians and singers composed of Little Miss Roy, Sheenah Ko, Guillaume Chiasson (Bon Enfant) and Jean-Étienne Collin-Marcoux (Beat Sexü). In the studio, he has made a habit of bringing together over fifteen artists and friends during the production of his albums. Once again, the experiment has been fruitful, with Blaze preparing to unveil the expansive sound of What's on Your Mind? this fall, like a pledge to an endless summer.
'Friends' is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit theblazevellutocollection.ca.
