Du Blonde Posts Ezra Furman Collaboration I'm Glad That We Broke Up

Du Blonde has enlisted Ezra Furman for a new single, I'm Glad That We Broke Up.
Following the Shirley Manson-assisted Medicated, the fervent song is anchored by strong, driving guitar lines which contrast with the twosome's soft vocals. It'll appear on Du Blonde's forthcoming LP, 'Homecoming', due on April 2.
The singer and songwriter, real name Beth Jeans Houghton, revealed the track along with further details of the record in a post on Instagram. They wrote:
"I'M GLAD THAT WE BROKE UP Ft. EZRA FURMAN IS OUT NOW!! THE ALBUM HOMECOMING IS OUT APRIL 2ND! I can’t tell you how great it is to finally be putting out a track with Ezra. She is a constant inspiration to me, and her voice gives me the wiggles. There’s a point in the song where she sings ‘....three whole months apart’ and there’s something about the distorted melodic cascading tone of her voice that makes me want to listen to that line over and over forever. Ezra Furman thank you for making this track with me and thank you for being one of the few people who truly understands me.
"I’ll talk about the album a little later but for now I just wanna give this track the moment it deserves. Last night I gave it a little talking to and told it my hopes and dreams for its life including moments it might get to witness, like two friends dancing in their bedroom and someone finally feeling good again months after a breakup. All of these things are part of the life of a song independent of an artist and I hope this track can be a friend to you in your home, especially in a time when friends are not so accessible."
Houghton previously directed the video for Furman's single Calm Down AKA I Should Not Be Alone, which appeared on their 2019 album 'Twelve Nudes'.
