You've probably heard Blu DeTiger's bass-heavy covers of Miguel's "Sure Thing" or Doja Cat's "Say So" while scrolling TikTok during the pandemic or listened to one of her disco and funk-inspired singles like "Figure It Out" or "Cotton Candy Lemonade," while updating your Spotify playlist. If you haven't, take this as a sign to explore her discography.
From amassing a large following in part to her online presence and bass support for Caroline Polachek’s 2020 tour to opening for Sabrina Carpenter, the dazzling artist’s entry into the music scene did not happen overnight. DeTiger’s ascendance was the perfect storm catalyzed by her early beginnings as a DJ in the NYC club scene, unwavering dedication to the art of bass, and later work for artists including Olivia Rodrigo and Dominic Fike. All further proving the bass-blaring phenom has the bravado of the next music sensation.
Now, nearly four years after landing in the glaring spotlight for deserved recognition of her rich vocals and bass flair, DeTiger has released her long-awaited debut album, All I Ever Want Is Everything. The neo-funk-pop record blends her affinity for house music and retro fusions, speaking to the singer's musical sensibilities.
Once you press play on All I Ever Want Is Everything, a progressive beat laced with a lustrous hum invites the listener into DeTiger's artistic state of introspection and acceptance. Following her intro is record standout "Latency," an uptempo melody, balancing the project's more melancholic tracks. The album's overall genre-defying nature and accounts of spectacular instrumentals have empowered DeTiger to explore her identity, offering an array of tunes chronicling how the musician navigates life and internal feelings.
"This album is about really enjoying the high moments in life, but also learning how to talk yourself out of the low moments and become your own best friend," DeTiger notes. "I want to let people know that you can feel it all and do it all. Wherever you're at is cool."
In collaboration with writers including Chappell Roan, and her brother Rex, plus features from Magdalena Bay and Mallrat, DeTiger's debut album is a testament to her honed craft and the relationships she's built along the way. Translating her album to a live audience this upcoming month, the artist's U.S. tour begins April 25th at The Sinclair in Boston, where her fans can experience her electrifying talents on the bass and infectious sound.
