PREMIER: Blair Jollands shares new track ‘Make Love Great Again’

Gigslutz are delighted to share the new release of London based singer-songwriter / musician Blair Jollands ‘Make Love Great Again’, lifted from the upcoming album ‘Little Comet’ due in 2025. Scroll down to listen to the track…

Following on from recent single ‘Don’t Cry’, ‘Make Love Great Again’ continues Blair’s musical evolution, drawing on a myriad of influences from blues, rock, Americana and soul, delivering a powerful, poignant message during these troubled times. He says: “Taking back the narrative. The aim of this song is to spread the word of peace. We are tired of division. We are tired of the fighting. It’s not about making your country great again, its about making LOVE great again. Love each other. Love our neighbours. Love ourselves.”

Returning recently from his 2024 multi-date headline tour through Europe & Australasia also supporting Nick Oliveri (Queens Of The Stone Age / Kyuss) & Rose Spearman (Kraak & Smaak) in The Netherlands, Blair Jollands returns to his current London base to work on his forthcoming LP due for release in October 2024, following on from the success of his single The Breaking which received much praise from Dutch music TV host and radio DJ Leo Blokhuis and Rob Stenders and plays on National NPO Radio 1 and 2. In 2023 Blair Jollands was officially invited by SXSW to play at the Continental Club.

Jollands is a compelling songwriter and recording artist. Having won the admiration of both David Bowie & Boy George (who released Blair’s previous material under the name El Hula on his More Protein label), His music communicates a paradoxical mix of melancholia and optimism that is hard to resist. Often compared vocally to Lana Del Rey, Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright & Scott Walker, Jollands has received much praise from the likes of NME, Guardian, Uncut, Artrocker, and more. He is also known for his work on the Emmy & Golden Globe nominated Shackleton, Alien vs Predator & Pride, plus his Bafta-nominated Sky Atlantic series Fortitude starring Michael Gambon, and Netflix series Bodies, starring Stephen Graham. He has worked with Madonna and Rhianna, Jammed with Grace Jones and James ‘Sparks’ Sinclair (Johnny Cash), and collaborated with Gordon Raphael (The Strokes).
