BLUSH ALWAYS

With her full-length debut album, Leipzig-based singer-songwriter Blush Always has come along at the right time. Arriving in September 2023, You Deserve Romance is a self-empowerment manifesto with crashing indie rock guitars and irresistible melodies of captivating urgency.

Considering the playful ease that Blush Always injects into her songs on her debut album You Deserve Romance, you wouldn’t believe for a moment that this woman has only been writing songs on her guitar and performing them for barely two years. In much the same way as Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy or Beabadoobee, Blush Always has distilled the essence of punk-inspired indie guitar music of the past 40 years with great pop sensibility. On You Deserve Romance she renegotiates the insights gained in this way entirely - for her era, from the perspective of her generation.

And yet it's true: Blush Always has been playing the piano since she was four years old, but she is still at the very beginning of her career as a songwriter, singer and guitarist. So far, there have been only a handful of concerts and her Postpone EP, released in spring 2022. The EP was arranged and produced together with German indie rock band Leoniden, whose guitarist Lennart Eicke had discovered Blush Always at one of her early Kiel concerts.
