Vera Blue releases debut album Perennial

Vera Blue

Vera Blue has released her debut album, “Perennial”.

Native Tongue writing/production team Andy & Thom Macken (The Mak Brothers) have been developing Vera Blue since they met at our songwriting camp in 2014. It is now time for her debut album to be unleashed on the world. Native Tongue writers Helen Croome (Gossling) and Sam Telford also contributed on the album.

“‘Perennial’ is a term for plants that come back year after year, and I like to relate that to memory, feelings and emotions,” says Vera Blue. “It’s what the record is all about; relationships can be very cyclical, or never-ending, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s just part of life.”

Recorded between Los Angeles and Sydney, the album is arranged into three chapters, which chronologically trace the development of Vera Blue; from her very first week writing, raw after the breakdown of a relationship, towards a place of renewed strength and vivacity.

“Blending her folk roots with her love of electronica, and taking us on a journey through some of her most heartbreaking experiences.” – Triple J
