DLC Week of 3/3: Blondie and GAYLE

Special March Announcement!
This week, rather than the standard week 8 Bloodstone DLC blog, we want to flip the script and talk about some of the fun stuff we have planned for the entire month of March. Read on for details!

March is Women’s History month and serves as a great opportunity for us to cast a light on some of the amazing talent of women in music culture. So, this March, starting on 3/3, we’ll be featuring DLC from women in music, and while there’s no way that a single month can do justice to the enormous contributions that women have made to music, we do have 10 fantastic songs that represent some of the different voices in contemporary music culture.

We kick things off on March 3, with a release that pairs classic with contemporary. One of the most important bands to come out of the legendary CBGB’s music scene of the mid 70’s, Blondie was ahead of their time with regard to their penchant for mashing up different styles of music: punk, disco, rap, pop - you hear it all in their sound.  We are excited to bring “Dreaming” to the Rock Band DLC catalog. The lead track off of 1979’s Eat To The Beat, “Dreaming” is built on a tom driven drum beat, a melodic bassline, tasty guitars and of course, Debby Harry’s sultry catchy vocal hooks. 

Our 2nd release for this week is GAYLE’s break up anthem, “abcdefu”. This song is EVERYWHERE - a legitimate international chart topper. Peaking at #6 in the US, it topped the charts in Finland, Germany, the UK, and more. My first exposure to the song was through a video of her performing on late night TV and was struck by how straight up Rock and Roll she was. GAYLE’s lyrics perfectly capture teen angst and individuality - “Everybody but your dog, you can all f**k off”: Teenage ethos in a nutshell.

Visit www.gayleofficial.com to learn more about this rising artist. Listen to GAYLE’s music (including her new single “ur just horny”), watch the video for “abcdefu”, shop merch, and check out dates for her U.S. tour!

As for the rest of the month, you can look forward to some great tracks from artists like Aretha Franklin, The Donnas, Shania Twain, and more. We’re excited. You should be too. 

ALSO, we have the last week of Season 25 to talk about. Our last fake game of the season "Incredibly High-Fidelity Open World Racing Game" focuses on the high octane world of racing sims. Buckle up and put the pedal to the metal as you and your Crew finish out the season.

Both Blondie and GAYLE tracks are included in the Season 25 Season Pass. You only have a few weeks left to pick this pass up, so if you want it, go get it.

Blondie “Dreaming” and GAYLE “abcdefu” are available for $1.99 each.
