If you’ve been searching for the perfect soundtrack to keep the night alive, look no further than Blusher—the Melbourne-born electro-pop trio redefining what it means to mix high-energy beats with clever storytelling. Their latest EP, Racer, is a six-track whirlwind designed to keep your adrenaline pumping, blending the euphoric joy of ABBA with the bold innovation of Robyn—and just enough edge to make it uniquely their own.

A Trio Built on Eclectic Roots

Composed of Miranda Ward, Lauren Coutts, and Jade Ingvarson-Favretto, Blusher is not your typical girl group. Each member began as a solo artist before merging their eclectic influences into one powerhouse project. The result? A sound that thrives on chaos, experimentation, and shared creativity. They swap instruments mid-performance, trade vocals seamlessly, and lean into a playful, K-pop-inspired stage dynamic where no one takes the traditional “lead singer” role.

Their approach has already taken them far, with opportunities to open for icons like Kylie Minogue and Tove Lo, setting the stage for their growing global fanbase.

Inside Racer

The heart of Blusher’s new record is motion. With tracks like Marathon, Running to You, and Last Man Standing, the EP channels the relentless stamina of late-night clubbing and the pulse of high-speed racing. Written between London and Sweden, the project blossomed from the idea that “clubbing is our team sport.” Its sonic universe is matched by its visuals—think racer-core fashion, futuristic edits, and neon-lit aesthetics.

But Racer is not just about speed. It’s about community, connection, and the shared rush of losing yourself in music. Much like their earlier EP, Should We Go Dance? and singles such as Accelerator and 24 Hours in Paris, the project proves Blusher is firmly in the fast lane of modern pop.

The Style Factor

Blusher’s identity extends beyond sound. Fashion plays a starring role in their performances—whether it’s Jade channeling “quirky fairy energy” with bejeweled headwear, Miranda leaning into apocalyptic grunge chic, or Lauren commanding the stage in sharp, structured designs. The trio champions local Australian designers like Toilé Studios, Radical Yes, and Catholic Guilt, blending sport, club culture, and high-fashion edge into their onstage persona.

What’s Next for Blusher

With Racer out in the world, Blusher isn’t slowing down. Beyond headline shows and DJ sets, the group is eyeing global stages and, as they cheekily admit, one very specific goal: meeting Kesha. Until then, they’re focused on connecting with fans, pushing creative boundaries, and proving that dance-pop can be both playful and powerful.

So the next time you’re curating your “night out” playlist, make sure Blusher is on repeat. Their music isn’t just something to listen to—it’s an experience to live through, one euphoric beat at a time.
