“Every line in the song is something that has been personally said to me by folks in the industry.” Next Big Thing, Du Blonde's new single with Skin from Skunk Anansie, is a scathing exposé of music industry sexism

Du Blonde.

Du Blonde has released a fourth single from their upcoming Sniff More Gritty album. A scathing exposé of the sexism within the music industry, Next Big Thing features guest vocals from Skin from Skunk Anansie, with Du Blonde confessing, “If you’d told 13 year old me that I’d one day have a song with Skin I’d literally shit balls.”

Of the single's subject matter, Du Blonde explains, “Next Big Thing is the result of my first 15 years in the music industry, from audience members shouting ‘Take your top off!’ during my first shows at 15, to label executives telling me to be less ‘sensitive’ about being sexually harassed.

“Every line in the song is something that has been personally said to me by folks in the industry, but speak to almost any woman or femme-presenting musician and they will have stories to match.”
