Glades Releases New Pop Smash, “Blonde”

Sydney’s own Glades is spreading the positive vibes with their latest pick-me-up pop banger “Blonde.” If you’re struggling right now and need to shake up your life (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?), this is the track for you.

“Blonde is about helping a friend through a breakup. Sometimes you have to allow yourself to feel the full extent of your emotions to get through something. The song’s about being carefree and allowing yourself to do crazy shit to get over somebody” explained multi-instrumentalist and producer Joey Wenceslao.

“Blonde” is the second track lifted from Glades’ sophomore album Planetarium, due out later this year. The band’s debut To Love You was one of my favourite releases of 2018, so I expect big things from this one.

“To Love You” – Glades

It seems like forever ago that Sydney band Glades burst onto the scene with their track “Drive.” Now two years later they’re showcasing their addictive electronic pop sound on their debut album To Love You.

“Nervous Energy” is the perfect introduction to this collection of songs, with lush electronic layering, powerful and emotional vocals, and a clap-along beat. Glades are so skilled at creating upbeat alt-pop ditties that put a smile on your face, whether they’re spreading positivity in a song like “Do Right” or dissing someone in “Not About You.” Tracks like “80 Miles” and “Neon Buzz” are real charmers, with the rebellious, romantic spirit that will take even the oldest listeners back to those heady days of first love.

Electronic sounds dominate To Love You, but as the songs become more intimate and subdued, so does Glades sound. The final two tracks, “Better Love” and “Through to You” are stripped back and organic, with pianos and gentle acoustic guitars replacing the special effects. They’re powerful reminders that Glades don’t need heavy production to make an impact.

To Love You has been a long time coming, but its release today has been worth waiting for. It’s perfect pop for the new millennium, with a fresh sound anchored by real heart. Glades will play the following shows to celebrate its release.

24 November 2018 – Corner Hotel, Melbourne
30 November 2018 – Jack Rabbit Slims, Perth
1 December 2018 – Jive, Adelaide
6 December 2018 – Metro Theatre, Sydney
7 December 2018 – Woolly Mammoth, Brisbane
