After raising over $40,000 on DIY fundraising site Kickstarter to fund the recording and release of his new album Four, songwriter Bleu released the album on Tuesday! That being said, it’s only fitting that Four works as a love letter to his adoring fans, a refreshing breather from the “brass ring” of the pop mainstream and a song cycle geared toward making each one of his supporters happy. As such, there’s a little something for everyone, from the rousing, sax-led opener “Singin’ In Tongues,” or the upbeat home-town shoutout “B.O.S.T.O.N,” to the shimmering “In Love With My Lover” or the languid, string-bolstered “When The Shit Hits The Fan.” But Bleu’s uncanny ability to juxtapose the weighty and serious with the buoyant and unstoppably poppy make Four a treat for fans and the uninitiated alike.
