Soulful Melbourne act Velvet Bloom turns on the charm with their latest single “Glimmer.” It’s another sultry number from Velvet Bloom. I really dig its cool jazz-waltz vibe and sweet lyrics.
“I wrote ‘Glimmer’ about my relationship with my mother and how much she inspires me,” explained Velvet Bloom frontwoman, Maddy Herbert. “My dad passed away when I was four and the strength that I saw in my mum following this loss helped to shape my entire being. This song is about expressing admiration for the people who you love and making them aware of how special they are. Some people have a major influence on the way you see the world and if that influence is positive – you should hold them close.”
“Glimmer” is the latest track from Velvet Bloom’s forthcoming self-titled debut EP. Preorders of the limited-edition vinyl are open now ahead of its April 8 release. You can hear some of the new music ahead of time at one of Velvet Bloom’s upcoming shows.
