New York-based pop-punk group Charly Bliss have shared a new single called “I Need a New Boyfriend,” which arrives alongside a video directed by the band’s Dan Shure. The anthem is highlighted by Eva Hendricks’ snarling yet approachable delivery, a hard-charging drum groove, and a stadium-ready, half-time chorus. Regarding the song, Eva Hendricks said, “I think the best breakup songs are celebratory. Thankfully, decades of dating the wrong people has prepared me to write the emo, palm-muted breakup song of my dreams.”
Regarding the visual component, she continued: “I was in Australia when Dan had the idea for this video, so we had to create a fictional Bliss Bar where we could all be together for Speed Dating Night. I bought the entire clay aisle of our local craft store and had a lot of fun creating a miniature version of the set that we could all be green-screened into. Dan is the world’s best director and editor and did an incredible job pulling everything together. Please contact CB Worldwide if you believe you may be entitled to a new boyfriend.”
Bringing part of the music video to life the band also created Bliss Finder, a website that generates dating profiles to assist fans in the search for a “new boyfriend.” Check out the video for “I Need a New Boyfriend” below, and stream it here.
