There’s something special happening in Australia at the moment.. Quickly becoming an epicentre of electronic music, it’s a place that appears to nurture creative talent and allow a generation of artists to blossom. Blush’ko’s debut album, “Floral Surfboard,” is another prime example of this and a testament to the artist’s ability to seamlessly blend genres, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly unique.

Blush’ko – Live performance

The Melbourne-based singer-songwriter effortlessly fuses elements of funk, soul, and alternative R&B, resulting in a sonic landscape that is both captivating and innovative. The album’s ten tracks showcase Blush’ko’s impressive vocal range and his knack for crafting infectious melodies. From the smooth, soulful grooves of “Give It To Ya” to the more upbeat, funk-infused rhythms of “Ain’t Nothin’ Better,” Blush’ko demonstrates his versatility as an artist. The production, helmed by Tentendo and Jujo, is top-notch, providing a lush and immersive backdrop for Blush’ko’s vocals.

Instantly putting us in mind of Silk Sonic with elements of Sampha or Blood Orange – “Floral Surfboard” is a cohesive body of work that showcases Blush’ko’s artistic vision. The album’s title itself is a reflection of this unique blend of genres, evoking images of both smooth, soulful vibes and a more laid-back, surf-rock aesthetic. It’s this ability to blend seemingly disparate elements that sets Blush’ko apart and makes “Floral Surfboard” a must-listen for fans of R&B, soul, and funk. With this debut, Blush’ko has established himself as a global force..
