Blacklist Union Issue “Madame Butterfly” Single & Video

Taking its title from Puccini‘s Madama Butterfly, Blacklist Union‘s new single, Madame Butterfly, is a world away from the opera’s tragic tale of unrequited love. Instead, it serves as a heartfelt love letter from frontman Tony West to Lorraine Lewis of Femme Fatale. The track is the lead single from Blacklist Union‘s forthcoming album, The Good, The Bad And The Notorious, that will be released in Spring 2027. The release follows the acclaimed single Jackson, Blacklist Union‘s reimagining of the Johnny Cash and June Carter classic, which paired Tony West with Lorraine Lewis in a high-octane duet blending outlaw country, punk attitude and rock ‘n’ roll swagger. Blacklist Union will also be heading to the UK and Europe this September alongside Faster Pussycat and Femme Fatale.

“Madame Butterfly is about finding love after your heart has been bled dry. Being grateful for having love in your life. This song is about Lorraine Lewis.” (frontman Tony West)
