Too Blue
ANGEL OLSENangelolsen.com
“True Blue” is the standout track from Mark Ronson’s album Late Night Feelings (available to purchase today), featuring Angel Olsen.
Olsen originally had some doubts about them working together, but as she noted, “I wasn’t sure what it would be like to work with Mark, considering we are both from different production worlds..but it was such a fun, organic experience for me. Seriously. He gave me full reign to try things out – I even play a little guitar on the track (not that I’m a virtuoso player or anything). At the time I’d been listening to a lot of dark disco, specifically Nico’s dance version of Heroes. I wanted to make something dark like that, but also something people could skate to. A true roller rink song. Hearing the final track back was so rewarding for me. I can’t say it enough. I hope to play it live! I’m excited to hear the record in its entirety.”
