NEWS RELEASE
SHANE CLOUTIER
*************************
Canadian Alt-Folk singer-songwriter Shane Cloutier, a resident of Collingwood, digs deep into the uncomfortable truth of toxic relationships, in his newly released single, Your Blues, available now.

Cloutier's latest release, Your Blues is a song about individuals going back-and-forth with their significant other despite knowing that it's a bad idea. "It's something that I feel we can all relate to, to some degree," Cloutier explains.

With Your Blues Cloutier steps away from sultry folk to bring you a sexy blues tune with just as much punch and grit as his unique guitar playing. Distinctive chord progressions add depth and build to an alluring chorus, which pulls you back in, much like the toxic relationships the lyrics reflect on.

"The feeling of being pulled back into a relationship even though you know it's toxic... I think this is relevant to everyone and it's an uncomfortable truth that no relationship is all bad and sometimes we have a hard time balancing out the ying and yang of the whole thing," says Cloutier.

With this latest track Cloutier introduces a new blues sound for his ever-growing audience. He collaborates with notable musician and multi-time Maple Blues Award winner Tom Bona. With Your Blues being the first new single after his successful album release Lie to Me 'til it's Over in mid 2021, his devoted fans are excited with anticipation.

"I hope Your Blues encourages listeners to start their journey of planting their feet and making the right choice for what's best for them despite their current situation as I know it isn't always easy to do," expresses Cloutier.

Your Blues is available everywhere now.
