Blossoms have just released their latest single, ‘Meet Me In Love’, that is out now across all streaming platforms. They have paired it with a music video starring none other than Love Island host and television personality Maya Jama, marking one of the more unexpected and pop culture crossovers of the year.
The track lands soon after the release of ‘Joke About Divorce’, the disco-funk track the five-piece dropped back in April, which signalled the start of a new creative chapter for the band following the enormous success of their fourth consecutive UK number one album, Gary, in 2024. Where ‘Joke About Divorce’ leaned into dry wit and sarcastic lyrics and title, ‘Meet Me In Love’ listens firmly the other way as a romantic pop song, anchored by frontman Tom Ogden’s undoubted vocals and a catchy beat. Lyrically, the track is built around the simple but gutting sentiment of wanting someone so completely that their absence feels like a missing piece.
The music video, which dropped alongside the single just yesterday, features Maya Jama in a groovy lead role. Her natural fit being her screen presence and her status as one of the UK’s most recognisable faces right now made the video truly stand out. Jama, who has fronted Love Island since its 2023 winter series and recently hosted the latest All Stars edition in South Africa, brings a warmth and irony to the visual that completes the love-driven track.

Blossoms have always had stand out videos and tracks that lean into the theatrical, their videos tend to feel like short films rather than promotional content to bring their lyrics to life. The band bringing in someone like Jama, who is no stranger to the camera or media watchers, elevates the video into a spectacle of entertainment.
This year marks a decade since Blossoms released their self-titled debut album, which shot straight to number one and earned them a Mercury Prize nomination, this makes their current run of singles feel even more special and exciting for fans. Anticipation for a tour of live shows and an album only increases with the release of even more bangers, but ‘Meet Me In Love’ is a perfect follow up to a summer of Blossoms singles.
