Bleu "In Love With My Lover" from new album Four - video + tour

Bleu makes the rollercoaster ride of the music business look easy.

He's written worldwide megahits for The Jonas Brothers and Selena Gomez. He birthed a few records of his own, including the recent critical darling A Watched Pot, only to watch the label huff and spit and sputter around its release.

He's toured the globe and shared a stage with Rooney, John Mayer, The Posies, John Doe and a host of others. And, maybe most impressive of all, he's built a following loyal enough to pledge upwards of $40,000 to the recording and release of his brand new album, Four.

With little more than a profile on the DIY fundraising site Kickstarter, Bleu has amassed, penny by penny, a warchest to deploy in support of the epic, elastic pop of his new album.

Watch video - "In Love With My Lover" from 'Four', directed by Todd Stanton:

So it's only fitting that Four works as a love letter to his adoring fans, a refreshing breather from the "brass ring" of the pop mainstream and a song cycle geared toward making each one of his supporters happy.

As such, there's a little something for everyone, from the rousing, sax-led opener "Singin' In Tongues," or the upbeat home-town shoutout "B.O.S.T.O.N," to the shimmering "In Love With My Lover" or the languid, string-bolstered "When The Shit Hits The Fan." But Bleu's uncanny ability to juxtapose the weighty and serious with the buoyant and unstoppably poppy make Four a treat for fans and the uninitiated alike.

This month, he gives both groups a chance to enjoy his brand of crowd-pleasing pop, as he hits the road in support of Four alongside fellow troubadour Jim Bianco.
