NORMANDIE return with new single ‘Blood In The Water’

One of the most exciting new bands over the past few years Normandie have returned with new music in the form of single and video for ‘Blood In The Water’, their first new music since 2021’s ‘Dark & Beautiful Secrets’ album which boasts over 30 Million global streams to date. The song is a perfect example why the band have garnered those number as they perfectly blend together influences from Pop and RnB to Rock and Emo with a sound that’s thematically heavy yet undeniably catchy and one that is bound to have fans singing along to around the world. Normandie are back and here to stay!

Speaking on the track, frontman Philip Strand says, “Blood In The Water is about how “hurt people, hurt people”, how negativity is contagious and how it can lead people into negative spirals, where they unknowingly hurt the ones around them… Even though I left the church at a very young age, I was raised with the belief that every person is born with a clean slate, and then our experiences and traumas form us as people. I’ve always seen hurtful people as damaged, sad and maybe even wrongfully judged by their behaviour, rather their past. Nobody was born evil, it’s something we pick up along the way and usually comes from pain and suffering in some way.”

”With this song, i wanted to get into the mind of the hurtful/hurt person and try to understand their behaviours and patterns. “Love me til my heart stops, hit me like a freight truck” is one of my favourite lines. I’m positioning love as a drug, with the person’s tolerance building, leading them to seek being really blown away by their feelings, to cover the pain inside.”
