Rising French emo-pop newcomer Silly Boy Blue follows up with another stellar offering in “Not a Friend” – released via Sony Music France.

The latest single from her forthcoming sophomore album, “Not a Friend” infuses dreamy indie-pop with nostalgic shoegaze vibes for a catchy, cathartic end result: “We’re not friends / Cause I don’t kiss my friends / We’re not strangers, I wish we were / I wish just to get over you”, Silly Boy Blue laments during the opening verse, setting the tone for the song’s lyrical exploration of confusing relationships and blurred boundaries.

“Not a Friend” follows on from the artistic French native’s moody February release “Widow Dreams Forever” (watch) – commanding attention from the likes of Wonderland and Rolling Stone, the poignant “Widow Dreams Forever” takes audiences through a theatrical journey of freeing herself from the stigma of the grieving widow during a strikingly artistic, editorial music video.

Silly Boy Blue made the following statement about “Not a Friend”: “I wrote ‘Not a Friend’ because I was dating someone, like really dating, but he kept calling us friends. So, I came back home after a date and wrote this song. I repeated ‘not a friend’ so many times because I was tired of hearing that, as we were walking in every street, hands in hands and kissing, obviously – that's not friendship. Classic situationship case here.”

Making major waves with her breakout 2021 debut album Breakup Songs, the twelve-track collection instantly resonated with audiences thanks to Silly Boy Blue’s uniquely introspective outlook on heartbreak. Initially honing her writing skills in her previous career as a journalist, Silly Boy Blue moved away from the journalism field to pursue her musical dreams.

Finding quick success after scoring a major sync placement for her music on Netflix’s hit French series Plan Coeur, Silly Boy Blue soon hit the road on an extensive tour across forty dates, including a sold-out show in the prestigious Parisian venue La Gaité Lyrique – capping off a breakout year with a coveted nomination at the 37th Les Victoires de la Musique Awards and drawing attention for her show-stopping performance in a custom light-up outfit.

Now ready to build on the success of Breakup Songs with incredible new music helmed in sessions between Paris, London and L.A, Silly Boy Blue is on the cusp of an international breakthrough moment from the underground of the French capital – stay tuned for even more to come in 2023 from this riveting new talent destined for stardom.
