Blusher unveil new single, "Accelerator"
Pop-trio Blusher have shared their new single, "Accelerator" as their second release of the year.
The new single follow’s "Rave Angel" which dropped in January, being the first taste of new music for the trio since the release of their debut EP, Should We Go Dance?, in 2023.
Speaking on the creation of the new single, Blusher shares; ‘’Accelerator’ feels like Blusher with the saturation turned up to 200%. Accelerator is a big budget action movie, it’s a late-night highway chase, it’s James Bond in drag. It was our first day working with producer Donny Bravo. We knew of his work on the Disclosure album (which we’ve played in our DJ sets a lot) and were super excited to work with him. We’d been out late the night before to see a Tove Lo + Associanu DJ set, so we started the day with a lot of coffee, feeling really inspired to make something hard-hitting and dancey. We were so caffeinated, buzzing with intense creative energy."
"We have so much fun together in the studio and you can really hear that come through in this song. We’re grateful to Donny for accepting our chaotic vibes with open arms and matching that energy in production with gritty basslines and pulsing synths," they continue. "Accelerator is about the feeling of turning the intensity up on life - leaning into the chaos and embracing the feeling of racing in the fast lane without really knowing where you’re going. It’s also about jumping headfirst into a feeling, and being the kind of person who can’t help but push down the accelerator."
"Accelerator" is out now via Atlantic Records/Warner Music Australia.
