Blind for Love is Ana Popović 's fourth studio album, released in Europe on July 17, 2009,[ 6] and in the US on July 21, 2009[ 7] on Eclecto Groove Records . The album was co-produced by Mark Dearnley, and featured members of her touring band along with members of the Phantom Blues Band.[ 4] The album has only one song that is not written or co-written by Popović, "Need Your Love" by Dion Murdock, which comes out more as a rocker than a blues song. The album mixes up genres, mainly blues but branches out to rock, jazz, and funk.[ 8] [ 9] Two of the songs on the album focus on her family, "Blues for M" is for her man, and "Part of Me" is for her son.[ 10]
