Speaking on Should We Go Dance? Blusher share, ‘Our debut EP feels like the ultimate night out with your friends. It’s packed with grit, glitter, confidence and chaos. Each track correlates to a different part of the night; getting ready together, crush confessions in the bathroom, and yelling with your friends in the middle of the dance floor. Should We Go Dance? encapsulates the wonderful range of emotions that we put on full display within female friendships.’
Following its First Play via triple
j Good Nights on Wednesday, Blusher also share their latest
single, ‘Limelight’, available today alongside an official music
video/visualizer streaming now at YouTube The track follows previous
singles, ‘Dead End’, available
for streaming and download HERE, which ‘documents a night
out, charged by a fast-paced techno composition’, as described
by Vogue Australia, and ‘Backbone’, ‘a soaring, anthemic banger about the
aftermath of a breakup…’ - Music Feeds. An
exceptionally choreographed, 70s-inspired official music video is streaming now
at YouTube HERE.
Speaking on how ‘Limelight’ came to life, Blusher explains; ‘You’re cutting shapes in pink-lit clouds, yelling to your friends over the music. Limelight is the point in the night when you muster the courage you need to confess your feelings to your crush, down a drink, and lead them onto the dancefloor. This song started from a bassline while we were channeling the Black-Eyed Peas. We were writing together in Lauren’s bedroom on a Friday night, and after a few hours decided to take the advice of our own lyrics and go out for a drink and a dance, mid-session.’
In Blusher’s metaphorical teen rom-com
of a band, all three members are the leads. They share vocals on many of their
songs and swap instruments during the live shows. They all produce and write
together, utilizing their individual experiences cutting their teeth as solo
artists before forming the band.
Since Blusher launched into action at BIGSOUND in 2022, the trio are on track to become a staple amongst the Australian pop landscape and have made strides in the UK after recently showcasing at The Great Escape. Having already supported Aurora on her ANZ headline tour, and soon to be joining Swedish pop powerhouse, Tove Lo, Blusher have proven they are at their very best on stage – a fresh breath of colorful, pop goodness.
On Should We Go Dance?
‘We wanted our EP to sound like the
best night out with your friends; the grit, glitter, confidence, chaos and
confessions. The songs correlate to different parts of the night; getting ready
together, crush confessions in the bathroom, and yelling with your friends in
the middle of the dance floor. From sensitivity and shyness in ‘Softly
Spoken’, to the chaotic confidence of unreleased track ‘Hurricane
Chaser’, we wanted the EP to encapsulate the wonderful range of emotions
that we put on full display within female friendships.
Most of the music was created in Lauren’s bedroom while we drank lots of tea and spilled all our secrets. Writing this EP was such a fun combination of forces. We swapped instruments, read from each others’ journals, and layered all our vocals together to create what we call the ‘fourth member of the band’. Lauren is head chef of production, Jade is a vocal melody machine, and Miranda can write basslines in her sleep. It was important to us to make sure the EP sounded as powerful, honest and unique as the women we were writing about (ourselves lol).
When we first met, we found we shared
a love for hard hitting, dancey pop, sparkly synths and drum machines. We all
get nostalgic over the same deep cuts by Robyn, Kesha, LCD
Soundsystem and MGMT. When listening to our EP, we want
people to feel grounded in the pulsing bass lines, pulled by the pace of the
chopped breaths, and energised by the euphoric synths. We all sing, and we love
to experiment with our vocals, we laugh, yell, chant and turn our voices into
production elements. There was a lot of laughing and dumb jokes involved, and
also a lot of experimentation.
We hope this EP could become the
soundtrack to someone’s restless nights, and that it inspires groups of girls
like us to go out and make some funny stories with their friends.’ - Blusher
