Blu DeTiger: "I'm creating my own path"

With her new single 'Kiss' leading the charge, BLU DETIGER's 'All I Ever Want Is Everything' marks a bass-driven indie-pop evolution, capturing her distinctive path through personal growth and imposter syndrome in a debut that challenges the status quo. Check out the latest cover story for our New Music Friday playlist edit, The Cut.

Words: Abigail Firth.

Sometimes, a person is born with such a name they cannot pursue any career except pop star. Think Madonna and Beyoncé, more recently Dua Lipa and Harry Styles. Add to those ranks Blu DeTiger, whose preferred instrument, the bass, would normally see its player pushed to the side, but Blu is having none of that. An almost lifelong bass player, Blu rarely, if at all, saw female bass players front and centre growing up, leading her down her own path all the way to her debut full-length 'All I Ever Want Is Everything'.

When we meet via Zoom to chat about her album, Blu is back in her native city, New York, following a trip across the Atlantic to London, then LA, then back to NY, where she's not tired but rather looking for a Valentine's Day party to go to that evening.
