Vera Blue
Vera Blue est l’un de jeunes talents les plus prometteurs issu de la très active scène australienne. Elle fait de la Pop mais elle vient de la Folk, ce qui explique pourquoi la dominante électronique de son album est surtout un écrin idéal pour ouvrir son chant et ses textes à un plus large public. Derrière ce pseudonyme se cache Celia Pavey, une chanteuse installée à Sydney qui avait sorti en 2013 un album Pop Folk intitulé « This Music » qui comprenait surtout des reprises ainsi que deux compositions.

Meet Vera Blue, the project from Celia Pavey – one of Australia’s most promising talents.
Following the release of singles ‘Private’ and ‘Mended’, the unstoppable singer-songwriter’s debut album, Perennial, introduces a fully-formed Vera Blue, seamlessly synthesising her folk past with a bold, electronic pop future. An intensely personal record, it traces the often-circular pathways between love and loss across its 12 tracks.
Recorded between Los Angeles and Sydney, Perennial was written with longtime collaborators Andy and Thom Mak (Tina Arena, Bertie Blackman) as well as engineer Jackson Barclay. It’s the product of countless hours spent crafting songs in the studio as a team, often right down to the wire.
Despite its new sonic elements, the album is underpinned by the classic songwriting that has defined Vera Blue’s musical growth. Each song started its life organically, created on either piano or acoustic guitar, as evidenced on ‘We Used To’ and stunning album closer, ‘Mended’.
