Blondshell drops new song and plots fall tour ahead of unannounced album

First look at what comes next

Blondshell has dropped a new song and announced a fall tour, marking the first real signal of a follow-up record. According to Pitchfork, the track is titled "Heart Has to Work So Hard" and serves as the first preview of an as-yet-unannounced album. No title, release date, or label details have been confirmed at this stage.

Fans of Blondshell will remember her self-titled 2023 debut as one of the more quietly striking guitar records of that year, so any movement toward new material is worth paying attention to, even if the rollout is still in its early, opaque phase.

The tour

Alongside the new song, Blondshell has mapped out a run of fall dates. No full routing has been confirmed in the available sources beyond the tour being announced alongside the single. Details on venues and cities should surface through her official channels in the coming days.

What to expect

The pairing of a new song with a live push is a familiar but effective way to test the temperature before committing to a full album announcement. "Heart Has to Work So Hard" is doing the work of a lead single even if it has not been labeled as one. Check the /conciertos/ section as more tour dates get confirmed.
