Blossom Caldarone has refined her whipsmart lyrical wit down to laser-sharp accuracy. Someone who lets her feelings hang out when in the studio, each song from the rising wordsmith feels like a diary entry – all self-effacing humour, riveting revelation, and emotional transgression.
Recently supporting Years & Years, her single ‘Lonely’ – sculpted with George Moir – became a breakout moment, chosen to feature in the Netflix show Hello, Goodbye & Everything Inbetween.
She follows this with ‘Fridge Space’, a dose of pop revenge built in the aftermath of a failed romance. Blossom Caldarone has a sweet, innocent vocal style, but uses this to haul in some blood-soaked word play.
At times, she matches Lily Allen’s penchant for explicitly on-point pop over-sharing; backed by production from Cameron Craig, ‘Fridge Space’ is a hilarious ode to clearing out those bad memories, and sh*t dates, too.
She comments…
“‘Fridge Space’ is about filling your time with nonsensical activities when you’re trying to get someone out of your head. Even when you know they’re a waste of time, you have to force yourself to not think about them.”
“I always find myself doing stupid things to avert my attention and end up feeling more confused, skint and usually nursing a hangover. Being in your twenties is just this on a loop. The song is a loose summing up of this experience – but set in a supermarket.”
Tune in now.
