South East London artist BLONDETING is stepping into her own sound with two new releases that reflect personal moments and real-world chaos. Known for her earlier liquid Drum and Bass work, she now offers something bolder, still intimate, but with a stronger pulse.
“I’m Calling (You)” Feels All Too Familiar
There’s a kind of silence that feels louder than words, and that’s what sits at the heart of “I’m Calling (You).” The song was written about trying to reach someone who won’t pick up, a situation that many know but rarely talk about. It’s not just about missed calls, but missed understanding.
She premiered the single live in Brighton at Volks, supporting Emily Makis during a night that highlighted women in DnB. The event also included previews of unreleased songs set to feature on her upcoming EP.
Compared to her past releases, this one leans into a rougher rhythm. But the softness in her vocals remains. That contrast creates tension, and it suits the theme of chasing someone who keeps slipping further away.
“AFTERPARTY” Captures What Comes After the Main Event
“AFTERPARTY” moves in a different direction. This piece isn’t about longing or silence. It’s about the rush of being completely lost in the night. The idea came from those moments when everything is loud and unpredictable, when your phone stays in your pocket and plans fall apart. You think you’ve missed something, but where you are feels more real than anything that was meant to happen.
The cover artwork captures this mood clearly. A dropped camera, cigarette ends, and scattered memories tell a story of a night that ran off course. It doesn’t rely on perfect recollection, only the feeling that something important happened.
From Intimate Rooms to Iconic Stages
BLONDETING has steadily expanded her reach as a live performer. Her name has appeared on lineups at venues such as The Roundhouse, Moth Club, and Colours Hoxton. She brought her voice to BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends, and her work has received consistent support from BBC Introducing London and BBC 6 Music.
Her release “Control (Watch Me)” was featured on BBC 6 Music’s unsigned artist roundtable and has been played on Jaguar’s BBC Radio 1 Dance Show. Most recently, she performed at the BBC Music Introducing showcase at Omeara, cementing her place as one of the scene’s most promising names.
Alongside her own work, she has collaborated as a writer, contributing to Lola Young’s “On The Radar” and showing that her creative range extends well beyond her solo catalogue.
What’s Ahead
With more unreleased pieces hinted at during her Brighton set and a full EP in progress, BLONDETING is continuing to shape her own path. Her focus is not on following trends but on making music that reflects how people actually feel.
Whether through the ache of being ignored or the high of a night that slips out of view, her work captures moments that are easy to overlook but hard to forget.
