Let’s get ready to discoooo! Yo, I’m really feeling this song entitled “True Blue,” Mark Ronson’s collaboration with Angel Olsen. The track will appear on the famed producer’s forthcoming album Late Night Feelings which will arrive on Friday.
Olsen’s airy vocals fit perfectly with the thumping rhythm section, and that hook sounds all too beautiful to be singing about something so so sad. I’m here for this kind of shit all day!
Stream the track below.
Olsen said via a press release of the collab:
I wasn’t sure what it would be like to work with Mark, considering we are both from different production worlds..but it was such a fun, organic experience for me. Seriously… He gave me full reign to try things out – I even play a little guitar on the track (not that I’m a virtuoso player or anything). At the time I’d been listening to a lot of dark disco, specifically Nico’s dance version of Heroes. I wanted to make something dark like that, but also something people could skate to. A true roller rink song. Hearing the final track back was so rewarding for me. I can’t say it enough. I hope to play it live! I’m excited to hear the record in its entirety.
