[Denver C](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/author/denverctf.md) 6 September 2023 · 2 min read ***The seven-piece blues, funk, rock, and jazz outfit Perfect Strangers from Bengaluru, India, releases a new single ‘City of Heartache’ via No Binary Records.*** Perfect Strangers follow up on their June 2023 release ‘[On The Wild Side](https://open.spotify.com/album/0QWIDqLVkMAhsgUYxSofxn)‘ with a fresh new tune that examines the terrible realities of love and grief against the backdrop of a buzzing cityscape. Lyrically laced with themes of the bitter-sweet emotions of city life, ‘City of Heartache’ is a story of love’s decline set in a city that both cradles and challenges the human spirit. [City of Heartache](https://www.youtube.com/embed/POtRQXOTBO8?feature=oembed) ‘City of Heartache’ hits listeners with a bright, bouncy tempo, oozing bluesy guitar riffs and jazzy keys. Stacked with the lyrics, “I am tired of the city – these old smoky rooms – with faint glimpse of love – that never blooms – and I gotta hang on,” the song offers a graphic portrayal of the ongoing struggles in the city, neatly camouflaged within a lively jazzy-funk-rock tune. The nearly six-minute track boasts two stellar vocal performances, exquisite horn arrangements, and a sleek electric guitar riff to conclude the single. Post-release, Perfect Strangers are set to embark on a multi-city ‘[City of Heartache Tour](https://www.instagram.com/p/CwUWSaOLsWQ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)‘ of India, commencing with a couple of shows in Mumbai followed by gigs in Pune, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Kochi, and Hyderabad.
