Blondshell has appeared as a musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live and delivered a stirring rendition of ‘T&A’. Check it out below.
The singer, whose real name is Sabrina Teitelbaum, shared the single at the start of the year. It came as a preview of her forthcoming sophomore album ‘If You Asked For A Picture’, which is set to arrive on May 2 via Partisan.
Taking to the stage on Kimmel, the former NME Cover star broke out the mid-tempo, country-inspired track alongside her band, sharing an impassioned performance.
“Letting him in, why don’t the good ones love me? / Watching him fall / Watching him go right in front of me,” she sings in the explosive chorus. Check it out below.
Speaking about the single in January, Teitelbaum said: “There’s a Rolling Stones song on ‘Tattoo You’ called ‘Little T&A’ and at one point in the song, he says ‘tits and ass’, so I’m borrowing that.”
“I think in music, it’s easy to see things as either more sexualised or more romantic, and I wanted this to be both,” she added. “I see it as a love story – maybe not the most fairy tale love story – but I wanted it to feel like a really narrative song, where one thing leads to another and then you end up somewhere you didn’t expect. Normally that’s not how I write, but I wanted a song like that.”
‘If You Asked For A Picture’ marks the follow-up to Blondshell’s self-titled debut album, and gets its title from a line in the 1986 poem Dogfish by Mary Oliver. Visit here to pre-order.
Since the album was announced, the singer has also dropped the single ‘Two Times’ and announced a series of UK and European tour dates. Visit here to buy tickets.
Blondshell’s 2023 self-titled debut album received five stars from NME, who noted: “‘Blondshell’ is a complete triumph in several ways. Rarely do emerging artists receive the benefit of the doubt to change tack, recalibrate their sound and allow their lived experiences to develop and find their way into the music.
“Too often is that creator pigeonholed or, worse, written off – and such could have been the case for Teitelbaum. Instead, we have one of the alternative rock albums of the year, and one to treasure tightly for quite some time.”
