Blue also performed "Maze," a track from her forthcoming album Modern Rituals.
Vera Blue has taken on one of alternative rock’s most enduring songs, covering Radiohead‘s “Creep” for triple j’s Like A Version.
The Australian singer-songwriter stripped the 1992 track back to three elements — electric guitar, piano and vocals — building from the lower end of her range into a soaring falsetto by the chorus. Late in the performance she deployed The Pipe, a mouth-controlled dynamic effects processor and synthesizer made by SOMA Laboratory, adding an eerie texture to the arrangement.
Blue also performed “Maze,” a track from her forthcoming album Modern Rituals, during her studio session. The album is due Friday, Aug. 21 via Island Records/Universal Music Australia, and Blue will support it with a national tour opening the same night at Brisbane’s Princess Theatre and running through Perth’s The Rechabite on Aug. 28.
Born Celia Pavey, Vera Blue first emerged as a folk artist and finalist on The Voice Australia before reinventing herself under the Vera Blue name in 2016. Her 2017 album Perennial reached No. 6 on the ARIA Albums Chart, powered by the double-platinum single “Regular Touch.” Her highest-profile chart success came via her collaboration with fellow Australian Flume on “Rushing Back,” which reached No. 12 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. Modern Rituals will be her third studio album as Vera Blue, following 2022’s Mercurial.
