CURRENTLY ON TOUR WITH NOTD
“If Lindsay Lohan, Britney and Paris Hilton’s iconic holy trinity picture was music, it would sound like Blusher”. – PEOPLE MAGAZINE
“‘Get in loser, Blusher are going dancing,’ we wrote about Blusher last year, because after listening to them, you really, really want to be their friend.” – ROLLING STONE AUSTRALIA
“With an uncanny genius for creating the kind of carefree, joyous pop music that harkens back to multiple golden eras of electro-synth-pop while still remaining completely contemporary with a unique twist, Blusher are undoubtedly one of Australia’s most exciting young bands.” – WOMEN IN POP
Today Australian pop trio Blusher are opening a new chapter with the pulsating and addictive “Racer”. Teasing the song in January while opening for Sugababes on their Australian tour, the anthemic track hears them going full turbo with their electronic soundscape and slick pop melodies.
Of the song Blusher explain, “Being a Racer means being your own stunt person, the main character of your own life. It’s being the person to start the dance floor while the rest of the party is worrying about what people think.” They add, “The song was written the morning after we went to a secret rave in downtown LA. We danced under a bridge and watched as people lit off fireworks from its highest point. The next day, sleep deprived and inspired, we bottled that feeling of euphoria and Racer was born.”
“We want Racer to be the song that people turn up loud when they’re feeling sad or stressed, that helps them strut into the most unfazed, unstoppable, fastest version of themselves. It’s ultimately about our friendship and how we bring out the Racer in each other.”
Currently on tour in North America supporting Swedish hitmakers NOTD, they will also perform at Coca-Cola Sip And Sounds Festival this Friday in Austin alongside Halsey, Khalid, Benson Boone, and Suki Waterhouse. Over the past two years they have supported Sugababes, Tove Lo, Aurora and The Rions in Australia, and Dadi Freyr in the UK, Europe and North America. Additionally in the UK they played in Leicester Square for London Pride, at BST Hyde Park headlined by Kylie Minogue, performed at Latitude Festival as well as their debut London headline show. In December 2024 they conducted their debut sold out headline Australian tour.
“Racer” kickstarts a new chapter after they released five singles in 2024 including “Somebody New” (peaked at #47 on the airplay chart), “Overglow”, “24 Hours in Paris”, “Accelerator”and “Rave Angel”, all which followed on from their 2023 debut EP Should We Go Dance?. Their discography boasts over 14 million global streams.
In Blusher’s metaphorical teen rom-com of a band, all three members are the leads. They share vocals on 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. Unfiltered lyricism peppered over dreamy synths and thick baselines lands the Blusher sound somewhere between late-night solitude and a 2am dance floor. Since Blusher launched into action at BIGSOUND in 2022, the trio are on track to become a staple amongst the Australian pop landscape. The trio have garnered support from the likes of triple j, iHeartRadio Australia, People Magazine, Vogue Australia, RUSSH Magazine and DORK Magazine. And as they head into 2025, they continue their rise to pop domination.
