Soraia releases cover of Blondie's "Union City Blue"
originally published: 04/21/2024
Philadelphia rock outfit Soraia cover the Blondie classic "Union City Blue" on their latest Wicked Cool Records single.
Soraia is: ZouZou Mansour (Lead Vocals, Tambourine); Travis Smith (Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals); and Brianna Sig (Drums, Backing Vocals).
Frontwoman ZouZou Mansour says, "I've wanted to cover "Union City Blue" since I first heard it on the "Sid and Nancy" soundtrack album I bought back in 2016. I loved that movie--starring Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb. We were in Sweden touring in fall 2023, and decided that was the time to do it. We self-produced the song this time, bringing more of a "We Got The Beat" vibe to the tempo and approach. Hope you dig it!"
”Soraia is an extraordinary, exciting, and ‘sure to make waves’ band who I love and admire” - Joan Jett
"You do not want to miss one of the greatest of the new bands! For those of you who think rock is dead - come to have your faith renewed!" - Steven Van Zandt
