Stream Pip Blom’s third album on New Music Friday.
Pip Blom unveiled Bobbie after recording sessions in the presence of producer Dave McCracken as spring dawned, with a special guest on its lead track, Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos lending a classical duet vibe to Is This Love?.
“The nice thing about working with Alex, besides the fact that the atmosphere was really good, was that we both had quite different perspectives,” Pip said.
Whereas I am a bit more rock by nature, Alex is a lot funkier. And that turned out to be the perfect addition for this song, both in the verses and completely in the chorus. Never before has such a funky Pip Blom song appeared, and we all absolutely love it.
Various in-stores around the UK are coming up next week to mark the release, while appearances at Sŵn Festival and Margate Sounds are booked for this weekend.
