Artist: Blossoms Single: What Can I Say After I’m Sorry Genre: Funk, Alternative, Rock Release Date: May 1st, 2024
Blossoms latest single “What Can I Say After I’m Sorry” is a cracking new track with a funkier spin on their signature sound In collaboration with Jungle’s very own J Loyd, The Corals James Skelly, Blossoms return for the first time since 2023 with a bang. Still complete with plenty of synths and lead singer Tom Ogden’s classic Brit-pop vocals, the groovy bass line and scaling melody add a new dimension to the band’s discography.
Terribly catchy and danceable, you’d never guess the lyrics detail a sadder story: One of guilt, resentment, and the limited capacity that “sorry” has to fix things. Finding true happiness amongst the difficulties that life has to offer and trying to get over somebody can be a struggle… but when coated with upbeat rhythms, it’s a little easier to deal with.
“What Can I Say After I’m Sorry” has opened a new door for the Blossoms, and we’re excited to see if they continue in this direction.

Childish Gambino surprises us with Atavista, a polished re-release of his 2020 album 3.15.20. Gambino originally released the unfinished record during the Covid-19 pandemic as a rushed love letter to his apocalypse anxiety and to his fans. Needing a master and a mix, Gambino resurfaced the entire album and dropped it alongside a list of tour dates.
