Blusher: Australia’s Next Electro-Pop Breakthrough
Melbourne-based trio Blusher — Miranda Ward, Lauren Coutts, and Jade Ingvarson-Favretto — are fast becoming one of Australia’s most exciting new acts.
Their debut EP Racer blends underground dance-pop energy with the melodic flair of ABBA, delivering standout tracks like “Marathon”, “Running to You”, and “Last Man Standing”. The group’s synchronized performances stand out all the more because Blusher has no designated lead singer — a refreshing dynamic in today’s pop scene.
Already touring with icons like Kylie Minogue and Tove Lo, the trio are turning heads with their bold “racer-core” fashion aesthetic and uncompromising creative vision. With plans for headline shows and international gigs, Blusher are positioning themselves as a global pop force to watch. Blusher Instagram
