Vera Blue - Mercurial

Mercurial is the third studio album by Australian singer songwriter Vera Blue, released in October 2022 via Island Records.

Celia Pavey is professionally known as Vera Blue and came to the Australian music public’s attention in 2013 when she auditioned for the television program The Voice. Her debut album This Music was released in 2013 and peaked at #13 on the Australian albums chart. Her second album Perennial (2017) reached #6 on the ARIA albums chart. Vera Blue sings and plays the guitar and violin.

Vera Blue releases her new album ‘Mercurial’ on vinyl for the first time, including the singles ‘The Curse’ and ‘Mermaid Avenue’.

Mercurial – itself a term indicating a sudden shift in focus and mood – slowly took shape as a fitting follow-up to her debut Top 10 ARIA album Perennial with the aid of longtime collaborators Andy and Thom Mak.

Musically, the 10-track album sees Vera Blue presenting a sound more in line with her live shows. Armed with organic instrumentation, heavier bass, and the thickness and energy of electronic influences, it sounds more akin to her trademark performances, adding a sense of energy, urgency, and authenticity to its delivery.

This album is a limited edition on 180 gram opaque yellow coloured vinyl housed in a single pocket sleeve, pressed in Europe via Island Records.
