James Hattersley discovers an alt. pop summer anthem from the Newcastle-based newcomer
We should all be cool about Cool About It. The debut single from Newcastle’s Cherry Blur, the alter-ego of Isabel Rommen, is the alt. pop summer anthem that makes you want to drive down the motorway with the top down and a cooling breeze running through your hair.
Cool About It explores trying to seem ‘cool’ and unbothered while simultaneously trying to stifle an unwavering love and desire for someone. Each section builds with catchy guitar riffs, solid rhythm and feel-good vibes before reaching fever pitch and unleashing a flurry of soaring vocals that seem so cathartic; echoing that release once you are done hiding your feelings and decide to erupt and change everything. Let’s all show Cherry Blur how we really feel.
