Last month Katy Beth Young of Peggy Sue announced the release of her debut solo album True, which lands March 13th on Amorphous Sounds. Along with the news she unveiled the lead single titled ‘We’ll Always Have Paris 1919’. Young now steps up with another song called ‘Database Blues’.

‘Database Blues’ is a soft and mellow country-laced pop meets rock offering. While musically the song plays out like a ballad, Tenderness uses the space to dive into the conversation of modern technology and its role regarding the interaction of love. ‘Database Blues’ cleverly written record with moody production to back it. Check it out.

Regarding the track, Tenderness.

“Database Blues’ is a country song set in the world of streaming algorithms and re-read text messages. When I wrote it, I was thinking a lot about how technology and romance can feed and battle each other at the same time. Sending a song to a crush is obviously one of life’s purest joys but what does it mean when the algorithm plays it back to you later? Can you still call it a sign? I was an MSN Messenger teenager so there have always been screens in my romances – screens as a connector and amplifier as well as a barrier, and ‘Database Blues’ is me owning up to my own complicity in that.”
