Blondshell will release her new album, If You Asked For a Picture, on May 2nd via Partisan Records. If You Asked For A Picture sees Teitelbaum once again working with producer Yves Rothman. Ahead of the LP’s release, she has shared the final pre-release single “Event of a Fire.” The track was written in the haze of tour-life burnout and sparked by a real 4 a.m. hotel fire evacuation outside Boston.

“It’s not really ‘what if I’m burnt out from touring,” Teitelbaum says. “It’s like, ‘what if I’m burnt out from just existing?” It’s a confessional torch song for the end of your rope. The song’s video stars up-and-coming French actress Ghjuvanna Benedetti and was directed by Emilé Moutaud. The video takes us into the day of a diving team and the internal burnout of one of the divers. It captures the moment when the ordinary aspects of her life clash with the weight of what she’s feeling inside.

If You Asked For A Picture’s title borrows its title from a 1986 poem by the cherished American writer Mary Oliver, titled “Dogfish.” In it, Oliver grapples with the idea of telling one’s own story: how much to share, how much to keep for oneself — all questions Teitelbaum asked herself while writing the forthcoming LP. “There’s a part of the poem that says: ‘I don’t need to tell you everything I’ve been through. It’s just another story of somebody trying to survive,’” Teitelbaum says. “Something I love about songs is that you’re showing a snapshot of a person or a relationship, and showing a glimpse into a story can be just as important as trying to capture the entire thing. Sometimes it’s even truer to the entire picture than if you tried to write everything down.”
