Blondshell returns with a new record, Violins, due September 25 on Partisan Records — and she’s leading the rollout with a striking title track and a cinematic video. The clip, directed by Sabra Binder, stages a tense, intimate encounter between artist Sabrina Teitelbaum and a slowly melting ice sculpture of a fawn, underlining the album’s focus on endurance and emotional repair.
What to know now
The new release is produced by Yves Rothman and arrives as the follow-up to Teitelbaum’s 2025 album. Today’s single serves as a thematic centerpiece, pairing tenderness with moments of volatility to explore how people recover — and the pace at which healing actually happens.
- Album: Violins
- Artist: Blondshell (Sabrina Teitelbaum)
- Release date: September 25
- Producer: Yves Rothman
- Label: Partisan Records
- Video director: Sabra Binder
- Recent single: “Heart Has to Work So Hard” (released last month)
- Tour: North America and Europe (dates announced)
The video’s visual centerpiece — a slowly dissolving, ice-cold fawn — acts as a metaphor for vulnerability and the slow work of mending relationships. Teitelbaum’s approach in the song and its visuals balances moments of softness with sharper emotional edges, suggesting the record will probe the friction between patience and pressure.
In recent statements, Teitelbaum described being drawn to images of quiet care alongside sudden disruption, and to the idea that recovery cannot be hurried. That tension appears to shape both the music and the staging of the new single’s video.
Where this fits in Teitelbaum’s trajectory
After the 2025 release that first brought her widespread attention, this album looks to sharpen the contrasts that have defined her work: intimate storytelling, alt-rock energy, and lyrical introspection. Collaborating with Rothman and releasing via Partisan signals a continued push for layered production and broader reach.
For listeners who follow contemporary rock and singer-songwriter art that leans toward theatricality, Violins promises a more concentrated exploration of personal limits and the slow, often complicated process of getting better.
Expect more singles and clips ahead of the September release, plus an accompanying tour across North America and Europe that will likely bring these songs into a live context where the record’s emotional dynamics can play out in real time.
