As the release of Big Blue Sky draws near, Doris Brendel unveils the fifth and final single from the album — Is This The Last Time — accompanied by a simple, powerful video that quietly captures the emotional core of the track.
A duet with renowned vocalist Sam Blue, the song explores the quiet ache of two people who care deeply for each other, but know they may never quite fit. The video features Brendel and guitarist/producer Lee Dunham, shot with stark simplicity to reflect the song’s central theme — the feeling of isolation even within closeness.
The stripped-back visual approach allows the rawness of the performance and the emotional weight of the lyrics to take centre stage. Sam Blue’s haunting harmonies add depth and texture, making this one of the most affecting tracks on the album.
Is This The Last Time follows previous singles Red Letter Blues, Slow WiFi Weekend, Satin Row and Under the Covers, all leading up to the full release of Big Blue Sky on 21st April 2025 via Sky-Rocket Records.
