JOHN BLAYLOCK DELIVERS AN ANTHEM FOR THE PEOPLE WITH NEW SINGLE ‘BULLETPROOF’

LISTEN HERE

With pensive new single ‘Bulletproof’, Mancunian artist John Blaylock brings back the poetic sensibilities of classic singer-songwriter music. On the waterfront where a sea of anthemic Britpop meets the shore of established folk traditions, you will find ‘Bulletproof’–a tune that is both nostalgic and looking towards a brighter future.

Down to earth, accented vocals complement a raw, sparse guitar arrangement, grounding the song in a profound reflection of humanity and the journey of life. Meanwhile, ethereal background elements broadcast a subliminal message of hope and aspiration. Through this combination, John Blaylock rewards attentive fans with a listening experience that is relatable and optimistic.

Demonstrating his range as a writer and performer, the song strikes a strong, resonant balance between classic and modern pop conventions. ‘Bulletproof’ is a song for any audience and any occasion. It is for blasting in your headphones while strutting along sun-kissed pavements or sailing out your bedroom speakers on an introspective, moonlit night.

John Blaylock shares his personal view of the song: “‘Bulletproof’ is a high energy anthem of resilience and reckoning. It's a battle cry for pride, perseverance and the pursuit of a future without regret.”

ABOUT JOHN BLAYLOCK

Picking up a guitar at 12 years old John fell in love with music and formed a band in his teen years, which led to numerous plays by Zane Lowe on Radio 1, Steve Lamacq on Radio 2 and Clint Boon for XFM, making the band’s song single of the week. 

His forthcoming debut album is full of beautifully crafted heartfelt songs, and Lennon-like raw, gritty lyrics and loops that will take you to the edge. John Blaylock recorded all of his upcoming music in North London at Konk studios (The Kink’s studio), Snap studios, and drafted in Freddy Sheed (drummer to Lewis Capaldi), alongside Grammy award winning producer Guy Massey, and hit songwriter and producer Helen Boulding. 

The likes of Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, The Byrds and The Stone Roses are just some of Blaylock’s influences. Giving incredible performances in 2024 at The Ned (NMM), Brighton’s alternative Great Escape and Rough Trade East in London, alongside releasing his debut single in the same year, Blaylock is set for an even bigger 2025 ahead.
