NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- EDGEOUT Records artist Bluphoria are thrilled to share their debut self-titled album, Bluphoria out today (May 5, 2023) via EDGEOUT Records / UMe / UMG. "It's kind of crazy to say but most of the songs we wrote in the last three years were written during the pandemic," lead vocalist and guitarist Reign LaFreniere tells The Reclusive Blogger. "A lot of the songs on this album kind of reflect that feeling as well. We wanted to make a project where the whole crux of it was to capture a peaceful melancholy. Most of our songs are upbeat and driven by major chords but at the same time the lyrics tell a sadder story which was very reflective of our experiences during covid - trying to make the best out of a bad situation. Sonically, this album is a much more matured version of our previous projects, and it really came to life because of the help we got from [GRAMMY® award-winning producer] Mark Needham."

Key Points: 
  • The album exists in an octave that soars above the gritty, grinding rock we experience all too often.
  • Bluphoria harnesses that feeling of a summer that defines a little bit of you and lives warmly in your memory forever.
  • "Rough from the start, in a good way, we get a song that creeps up on you and then pounces.
  • Wild and in your face, you can't deny that the
    "Their newest single 'Columbia' is oozing with rough around the edges rock.
