4 piece indie rock girl band BLUAI only recently joined the Unday ranks. Their first release on the label is ‘Hate You’, the follow up to their breakthrough single ‘Dime Store’ and a new glance at their debut EP that’s scheduled to arrive this fall.
‘Hate you’ is about loving someone badly and wanting to hate them when they don’t return the sentiment. And about the realisation that you can’t just hate someone on demand… says BLUAI singer and songwriter Catherine Smet.
Music is not a competition, but BLUAI are winners anyway. In a few months’ time, Catherine Smet's bedroom project has exploded into the biggest buzz act on the Belgian alternative scene. No one ever did it before them: the foursome successively won Sound Track by vi.be, De Nieuwe Lichting by StuBru and Humo's Rock Rally, the three most important music contest in Belgium, quite an epic hattrick. In the meantime, the girls play one show after another and scored a daytime radio hit with 'Dime Store'.
Together with Amina Parago on guitar, Caitlin Talbut on bass & Mo Govaerts on drums, BLUAI makes dreamy indie pop songs about the things of life: relationships, love and heartache. On stage they are equally convincing with a casual attitude, loads of personality and catchy songs.
“Excellent songs, charisma galore and a distinctive band sound, to say the least. Conclusion: hats off to BLUAI.” according to the jury of Humo's Rock Rally.
