Blondshell has recruited Bully for a new single entitled “Docket,” out now via Partisan Records. The song immediately becomes the best collaboration between one-word-named artists that begin with the letter “B” in 2024. Kudos to the duo. The alt-rock jam would’ve been an absolutely perfect fit for ’90s alt radio if this was still the ’90s. Someone take me back, am I right? Elements of grunge abound. If you were to type “Blondshell + Bully” into Sam Altman’s death weapon, it might come up with something resembling this song, which is not a bad thing! It’s just very on-brand.
“For me this is a song about splitting off from yourself,” Blondshell’s Sabrina Teitelbaum shared, reflecting on the track. “It’s about uncertainty when you’re in different environments all the time. In a way it’s about wanting to cope with distance and change but it’s also just a bit about being reckless. I had space on this song for another person and I kept hearing Bully’s voice on it. I’m a huge fan of hers and when I was touring last summer I couldn’t stop listening to her album. Honestly when we were sitting in the studio and I heard her voice coming through I was just kind of shocked and in awe of her. I’m really happy she said yes to making the song with me.”
Bully’s Alicia Bognanno added: “I’m a huge fan of Sabrina, I think she is incredible and I was over the moon that she asked me to be a part of her song. It makes me really happy seeing so many musicians in our indie world supporting and admiring one another. So thank you Sabrina and special shout out to her dog who I am a massive fan of as well.”
