Our latest single 'Burrito' released today.  

'Burrito' is our third #electroswing / #neoswing release.  As you all know by now, we are not afraid to write music that spans genres, often blending genres and our latest release is no exception. We are both inspired by vintage 1940's #bigband music and of course the #andrewssisters where a huge vocal sound from that era.  So we attempted to capture just that in 'Burrito' but of course with our #electro spin on it.

We hope this new single creates a yesteryear 'live' from the dance hall sound all wrapped up in todays #electro vibe. Oh, and it's actually not about Burrito's. 🤔😆

If you want to know a bit about us, we got to chat to Ellen from BBC Introducing in Cambridgeshire last week... you can listen in again here:

We were absolutely thrilled and very humbled to hear 'The Jazz' was chosen by Tom Robinson, included on his BBC introducing show on 6 Music this week.  

We have had so much support from BBC Introducing from day one, with our debut single 'There's The Way' being aired on Tom's Fresh On The Net show also on 6 Music. 

Thank you so much BBC Introducing, Tom, Fresh On The Net and all of the team.  BL x

Released today our latest single 'The Girl That Broke My Heart'

Oh we absolutely loved writing this... and we absolutely love this genre! After just a handful of months I think we've found it... where we belong... Electro Swing (jazz, Blues, Country but all with that Electro feel).  Such happy music... big smiles here at BL Bex HQ.

So please please please.. share, stream anything to help us be heard.  Huge huge thank you 🤗

...and as a special treat, here's the official video (not officially released until Friday 9th October)

Been a bit lapse on the blog front, sorry guys.

🤔 so what have we been up to?  Well it's been non stop over the summer... We've nailed another bunch of tunes, so the total completed tunes now is eight with a few we're still playing around with.  So the album is on track for next spring 🙌🙌

Last week Ben & I had a fabulous meeting with Mr J, someone I've known for many years and who is widely known and respected for his artist support services (ooo sounds very secretive 😆)  We are very happy to say he will be helping us, going forward, with our day to day support.

NEW RELEASE NEWS!

We are a bit excited to say we will be releasing another single in a few weeks...  (expected date October 2nd) but of course with the 'abnormal normal' now happening it all sits in the hands of our distributor... so please do pop back here or keep an eye on Facebook and Insta for the update.  We know you are going to love this one... what to expect from us this time? Electro Swing!  It's so BL Bex and we love this genre!  

Keep safe, keep smiling... keep sane. 🤪🤘🏼 ~ L ~

We would! 😆🙌🙌🙌

We hope this news blog finds you and your loved ones safe and well ❤️

We've not been busier here at BL Bex Central.  Ben and I have been working remotely from our own studio's on the album.  It's been a little frustrating not being able to bash out the final version of the songs in real time face to face in the same room, but something we're used to and in hindsight have been doing since last year, so actually no biggie.

🤔 I think we're half way through the album... 4 songs already mastered, 4 in various stages of completion. and a handful of tunes ready to throw into the pot.  So I guess lock down hasn't slowed us down too much.

We made a decision to vacate Twitter...  and still have no plans to join Facebook, but we remain on Instagram so do go say 'Hi' and maybe a follow?  😊

We've a new single out next week 'Rainbow Plan' followed by the official video... blog to follow.   if you follow us on Spotify then you'll already have notification already our new single is coming out.  

Right then... back to work... keep safe, keep smiling.

We've been a bit quiet for a while on the social media side as we've been so busy working on the next tunes.   But we had to take a few moments out of our  studio's to share this fantastic review by A&R Factory that went online today...  it's so amazing... thank you!!!

"Up and coming duo BL Bex’s latest single “There’s the Way” is utterly hypnotic. With elements of Art Pop, Psych Rock, Neo-Soul and Alt Blues Folk weaved into the indulgently immersive single it may not fit into any aural pigeon holes, but you’ll definitely find a home for the soundscape on your playlists.  

Lexie Green’s smoothly accordant, sensually quiescent Americana Blues vocals rise above the beats deftly orchestrated by producer Ben Cozens which offer beguilingly distinctive ambient layers to get lost within. For extra added alchemy, BL Bex enlisted the virtuosic prowess of guitarist Chris Hooks. 

It’s not all too often we can so assuredly say that you’ve never heard anything quite like this before. If you regularly find yourself on the hunt for truly authentic artists, look no further. 

You can check out There’s The Way for yourselves by heading over to BL Bex’s official website."
