DOPEST Video of the Week: "Blunder" by NYC-Based Indie/Soul Artist Michael Blume
/
Our new DOPEST Video of the Week feature comes from NYC-based indie/soul artist Michael Blume with the visuals for his single "Blunder." The video provides a connective visual to the dynamic track, reminding us all that we can overcome negativity and self-doubt to go from being our own harshest critic to our biggest ally. The song is available now on iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon and Spotify and is from Michael's forthcoming EP due out later this year.
"We all make mistakes by allowing the outside world's ideas of who we should be to infiltrate our own psyches and concepts of self. We all sit in different places on the bus that is life struggling with our own demons," explains Blume. "This video speaks to the ways in which this place of struggle connects us. I believe that empathy is a big part of community growth and I hope the video highlights how alike we all are even when we feel alone with our pain."
This release comes following a whirl-wind year for Blume. Prior to unveiling "Blunder," Blume released two tracks last year: "Lifting You" which premiered via Time and "I Am Not A Trend (No Rules)" which debuted via Nylon. On the road, he sold out three headlining performances in New York City at Mercury Lounge and Baby's All Right and performed at major music festivals including South By Southwest, Governor's Ball in his hometown of New York City, Firefly Music Festival and Lollapalooza. With critical acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, Time, Billboard, GQ, Nylon, Ladygunn, Pigeons & Planes, Huffington Post and more, Michael Blume has shaped his career by being unapologetically himself and has won over fans and critics with his unabashed honesty and unparalleled vocal prowess.
