Sometimes it\u2019s just deciding to stop carrying something that isn\u2019t yours anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The track is built on acoustic foundations, gentle and unhurried, with vivid lyrical imagery that documents the experience of a connection suspended between desire and realisation. The writing is mature and specific in equal measure, a quality that has drawn early press attention and led to the Newport invitation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The East Coast run visits Philadelphia and Asbury Park before a hometown Brooklyn show on 20th July, with the Newport Folk Festival debut on 24th July closing the run.<\/p>\n<p>Editors\u2019 Picks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Belle Blue has shared new single \u2018Wash\u2019, ahead of her East Coast summer tour and debut appearance at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289359,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[110611,110450,98,100,99,110612,9,24,110613,63,69585],"class_list":["post-289358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-acoustic","tag-belle-blue","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-indie-folk","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-newport-folk-festival","tag-nyc","tag-singer-songwriter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
