“I was on my way to Vegas to marry a French boy, who was asleep on my lap, and I was listening to this song thinking, I'm living the dream. Then he woke up and said, I can't marry you.” Du Blonde on the eight songs that changed her life

Du Blonde.

Du Blonde's Sniff More Gritty was one of the very best albums of 2024, the latest addition to a stellar catalogue identifying Beth Jeans Houghton as one of the finest songwriters making music in Britain today.

This week, for the first time in five years, Du Blonde is taking her songs on the road, on an 11-date British tour (dates and details below). Before she set off, she sat down with Louder to share her memories of eight songs which changed her life, and helped inspire her to become the singular artist she is today.
