Blusher have shared their first new music of 2025: A stand-alone single entitled ‘Racer’. The Melbourne-based pop trio co-wrote and co-produced the track with Gab Strum, AKA Japanese Wallpaper, alongside LA-based songwriter Tyler Spry. In a press statement, the group explained that the track was directly inspired by “a secret rave in downtown LA”.
“We danced under a bridge and watched as people lit off fireworks from its highest point,” they wrote. “The next day, sleep deprived and inspired, we bottled that feeling of euphoria – and ‘Racer’ was born.” The song’s title stems from a persona Blusher invented, which they focused in its lyrics and musical energy. “Being a ‘Racer’ means being your own stunt person; the main character of your own life,” they said. “It’s being the person to start the dancefloor, while the rest of the party is worrying about what people think.”
Blusher – ‘Racer’
The group originally premiered ‘Racer’ in the live arena back in January, where they played it during their support slots for Sugababes during their east-coast Australian run. It follows on from their productive 2024, which saw the release of five singles: ‘Somebody New’, ‘Overglow’, ’24 Hours In Paris’, ‘Accelerator’ and ‘Rave Angel’.
