“I had space on this song for another person and I kept hearing Bully’s voice on it,” Sabrina Teitelbaum says
In what could very well be the indie-rock collab of the year, Blondshell has enlisted Bully for the new rager “Docket.”
“Docket” is classic Blondshell, as Sabrina Teitelbaum pairs a sugary, melodic riff with brazen lyrics about love on the road — and a chorus that will stay in your head for days. She trades verses with Bully (Alicia Bognanno), her feathery yet mighty vocals rounding out the track.
“For me this is a song about splitting off from yourself,” Teitelbaum said in a statement. “It’s about uncertainty when you’re in different environments all the time. In a way it’s about wanting to cope with distance and change but it’s also just a bit about being reckless. I had space on this song for another person and I kept hearing Bully’s voice on it. I’m a huge fan of hers and when I was touring last summer I couldn’t stop listening to her album. Honestly when we were sitting in the studio and I heard her voice coming through, I was just kind of shocked and in awe of her. I’m really happy she said yes to making the song with me.”
Bognanno added: “I’m a huge fan of Sabrina, I think she is incredible and I was over the moon that she asked me to be a part of her song. It makes me really happy seeing so many musicians in our indie world supporting and admiring one another. So thank you Sabrina and special shout out to her dog who I am a massive fan of as well.”
