Lily Forte’s Heartbreak Hits Hard in New Single “Out of the Blue”

Everyone’s felt the sting of a breakup over the phone, but Lily Forte captures it like no one else. Out now, her latest single “Out of the Blue” delivers a masterclass in raw emotion, blending soulful vocals with cutthroat songwriting that hits right in the gut. Inspired by an abrupt breakup, the track channels feelings of confusion, betrayal, and disbelief, with lyrics like, “Hope you’re sipping something strong when you find out the problems too” and “Are you crying out my name while I’m crying over you?”

Forte’s approach is fearless. The production is steady yet intentionally aggressive, echoing the textures of traditional jazz while retaining the charged energy of modern pop. The accompanying music video brings the lyrics to life, reenacting the breakup play-by-play. There are comedic undertones, sure, but Lily’s raw shock and bewilderment cut through, making the storytelling all the more compelling.

“I felt intrigued by the thought of transmitting to someone through song,” Forte explains. “Like if I write these words, maybe he will finally hear me.”

“Out of the Blue” is the second single from Forte’s upcoming album, slated for January 2026, following the lead single “Miles To Go.” To mark the release, Lily will perform an intimate show at Tom Bergin’s in Los Angeles, a fitting venue for an artist who has previously graced stages like the Troubadour, Moroccan Lounge, Peppermint Club, and Hotel Cafe. Additional headlining shows are planned to coincide with her album launch, promising fans a closer look at her captivating live presence.

Drawing inspiration from love, loss, and rock n’ roll, Lily Forte has been crafting her sound since the age of eight. A powerhouse vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, she inherits her eclectic taste from her parents, aptly reflected in her music-themed surname. Forte’s sound bridges generations, marrying the timeless influence of Carole King and Amy Winehouse with a modern indie-folk sensibility.

Her aesthetic is just as bold as her music. Leaning into old Hollywood glamour, Lily complements her storytelling with striking visuals, from vibrant makeup to cinematic music videos, creating a fully immersive experience for her audience. With every release, she proves herself as one of today’s most promising and innovative singer-songwriters, capable of turning personal heartbreak into universal art.

“Out of the Blue” is more than a song, it’s an experience, and Lily Forte is inviting everyone to feel every raw, poignant, and sometimes hilarious moment with her.
