Vera Blue releases new single 'Mended' & announces national tour
Vera Blue has released a new single 'Mended', written with her longtime collaborators Andy and Thom Mak.
“‘Mended’ is a very special song,” Blue said. “It was about a relationship that I had a few years ago. It had been a little while since we’d ended it and we hadn’t made amends, said we were sorry. It’s funny because you think the song is going to be about resolution, but we haven’t quite made it there yet.”
Born from a Malibu writing session during Vera Blue’s first American trip in 2016, ‘Mended’ marks the beginning of a new sonic and personal journey for Vera Blue. “I like relating to people and making them feel what I feel. It’s where I’ve grown to as an artist,” she says. “That vulnerability is very special in music, being able to open up to your listeners is incredibly important.”
‘Mended’ will be supported with a national tour which will include Vera Blue’s second appearanceat the sold-out Splendour In The Grass festival. Tickets go on sale Monday 29th May at www.verablue.com/tour
