On October 28, Vera Blue will release Mercurial, one of the year’s most anticipated Australian albums. Now, she gifts us with ‘Mermaid Avenue,’ a dazzling tapestry of glittering electronica and delicate ethereal vocals that we are accustomed to with Vera Blue.
Vera Blue says of her new single, “‘Mermaid Avenue’ is a song about a love that didn’t work out. The bitter-sweet emotions that come with all the fond memories of the relationship but the heartbreak of a dream that will never happen.
“‘Mermaid Avenue’ is a beautiful street in South Coogee in Sydney with enormous beach houses overlooking the ocean. I find myself there on walks at sunset admiring the architecture and views. I feel that ‘Mermaid Avenue’ can also be a metaphor for a place where everything is perfect, full of adventure and love. Or a dream you create of the future, a beautiful life with someone.”
Arguably her heaviest and most surprising work to date, Mercurial reminds the world that there is a light at the end of the tunnel contrasting extreme lows with the cathartic highs.
