An Intimate Indie Rock Gem Entirely Produced by Bruno Lannoo
After making waves with the acclaimed Electric Session EP and the evocative single See the Sun, Guest returns with “Something Blue,” a hauntingly beautiful track that perfectly captures the emotional core of modern indie rock. This time, the song is entirely written, performed, and produced by Bruno Lannoo, the creative force behind the project. The result is a track that feels both deeply personal and sonically refined — a reflection of sincerity, introspection, and pure musical craftsmanship.
A Song Painted in Shades of Blue
“Something Blue” is a delicate balance between melancholy and strength — a slow build that pulls the listener into its emotional gravity. The song opens with atmospheric guitars and the subtle presence of a violin, setting the stage for Lannoo’s poignant vocals. His voice, fragile yet confident, delivers lines that feel almost confessional:
“They want something blue
We’d like something new
But our world won’t change
But my world won’t change”
There’s something timeless in the way Bruno constructs his melodies — understated yet powerful. The textures of the guitars, the warmth of the bass, and the restrained emotion of the arrangement give “Something Blue” an almost cinematic quality. It’s a song that invites you to slow down, listen closely, and let it unfold like a story told in whispers and echoes.
Bruno Lannoo: The Soul of Guest
The project Guest was born in the north of France (Hauts-de-France), a region known for its creative resilience and heartfelt artistry. Bruno Lannoo, guitarist, singer, and producer, started Guest alongside Perrine, a talented vocalist and bassist who, like him, is also a math teacher. What began as a simple cover band for a school charity concert in 2019 evolved into a genuine artistic venture during the 2020 lockdown.
Bruno began writing, recording, and producing from home — shaping songs that speak of reflection, solitude, and connection. “Something Blue” is the continuation of that journey, a solo piece that embodies his creative independence and emotional honesty. Every sound, every tone, carries his personal touch — a testament to how far one artist can go when passion meets perseverance.
The Art of Indie Authenticity
In an era dominated by overproduction and digital polish, “Something Blue” stands out for its organic sound. Bruno’s approach is refreshingly unfiltered: analog warmth, subtle imperfections, and an emotional transparency that feels rare in today’s music landscape. The track evokes the spirit of artists like Ben Howard, Damien Rice, or The National, while keeping its own unique French sensibility.
The violin arrangements add a layer of tenderness and nostalgia, contrasting beautifully with the crisp guitar lines. Together, they create a rich emotional texture — soft, immersive, and deeply human. It’s a song that feels like a confession whispered late at night, both vulnerable and liberating.
A Personal Universe, Shared with the World
With “Something Blue,” Bruno Lannoo doesn’t just release another indie song — he invites us into his world. A world where simplicity reigns over spectacle, where emotion outweighs perfection, and where each note tells a story.
This track marks another milestone in Guest’s evolution — a reaffirmation of the idea that music made from the heart will always find its audience.
