Bleu McAuley — just Bleu to his fans — bids a not-so-fond farewell to the guy who’s exiting the White House next week in his new single “Golden Child.” We won’t spoil the surprise of Bleu’s exceedingly clever lyrics by quoting any here, except to say that there ought to be a biography titled “The Art of the Steal.”

Says Bleu: “I wrote this song three years ago with my good friend Joe Seiders at his living room piano. We tracked it nearly two years ago, and I finished mixing it at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. I had known for a while that I wanted to write a song about the Cheeto In Chief (as I affectionately call him), but I also knew a lot of other people would be writing songs about him. What would make mine different? I figured no one else would dare try to get inside the head of the very-stable-genius, and that was my ‘in!’ This guy might be the least racist person anywhere in the world, and certainly the President with the biggest hands in history, but to my knowledge he had never written a song! I would write one for him — from his perspective.”
