Italian-American electropop duo I’m Not a Blonde unveils their new single “To Fall”- released in collaboration with INRI / METATRON. The track captures one of the most delicate moments in a relationship: the realization that love is no longer a perfect dream, but something alive, imperfect, and human.
Inspired by a dreamlike scene of two people walking hand in hand in surreal calm, “To Fall” explores the emotional tension when a single word shatters the illusion of perfection. It’s a slow, emotional fall—suspended between reality and desire.

Musically, the song opens with a nearly one-minute instrumental intro: a wordless dialogue between voice and arpeggiator, evoking a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere. Chiara’s vocals move from an alien, distorted tone in the verses to a natural, choral sound in the chorus, balancing vulnerability with strength. The result is a hauntingly beautiful track that reflects the vertigo of awakening and the fragility of love.
"To Fall is about the moment the illusion shatters, but you’re still inside the dream. It’s a slow fall, almost beautiful, full of desire." — I’m Not a Blonde
The single’s artwork reinforces the song’s theme: a falling key appears suspended, symbolizing the delicate balance between dream and reality.

ABOUT I’M NOT A BLONDE
I’m Not a Blonde is an Italian-American duo based in Milan, consisting of Chiara Castello and Camilla Benedini. Their elegant electropop—featuring ’80s-style synths and beats, ’90s Brit-wave guitars, and sharp pop melodies—strikes a perfect balance between the two personalities: irony and madness, fun and seriousness, minimalism and artpop, digital and analog. All of this is wrapped in a veil of melancholy that gives their music a distinct identity and unmistakable style.
Over the years, they have performed at various Italian and international festivals, sharing the stage with artists such as Duran Duran, Moderat, Soulwax, Peaches, Ghostpoet, Hurts, and many more.
Live, their sonic architecture—layered loops of vocals, guitars, synths, and electronic beats—fills the stage with the power and impact of a full band.
Their style has captivated world-renowned artists, who have chosen I’m Not a Blonde as their opening act in Italy: Franz Ferdinand in 2018 at Bologna’s Unipol Arena, The Killers at Rock in Roma (2018), Wolf Alice for their sole Italian date in 2018, and Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park in 2019 in Milan and Padua.
