Her fantastic new single with fiance Benny Blanco translates into an energetic fresh vibe.

Selena Gomez is a busy artist right now. Today, she releases her new single titled, Sunset Blvd. It’s a collaboration with her partner and soon-to-be husband, Benny Blanco, who co-produced and wrote the track with her.

The track is a bold and intimate retelling of the time the two first met, recalling events and first impressions with a sultry and daring delivery.

What Sunset Blvd Sounds Like

It’s the second single taken from her upcoming album, I Said I Love You First, due for release 21st March 2025. The song her fiancé Benny Blanco use a synth-laden mix of nostalgically driven elements in an 80s-style rhythm and enhances the vocals the artist is renowned for.

A heavy pop canvas elevates the stylistic quality of the singer’s vocals which are delivered in a 2010s-esque manner. The lyrics are equally intriguing as she uses suggestive language, like, “But I can’t wait to hold it, to hold that, big, big, hard heart.” Equally, they’re realised in the visuals as she stares between her fiance’s legs.

Verdict

With a dreamy music video directed by Petra Collins, it’s an infectiously bouncy track that is sure to enamour all who hear it. There is a quaint force of pull that keeps the listener engaged to endure every moment of it. There’s no doubt Gomez aimed for cute here, as she fashions a playful twist of melancoly and memory driven embellishments. It’s nothing short of a big win for the pop singer who has harvested a classy piece of music with a bit of humour.

Where to Stream It

You can listen to Sunset Blvd on all major platforms including Spotify, Apple Music and more. It is distributed by Insterscope Records, SMG Music, and Friends Keep Secrets.
