Denim Blù is an up-and-coming musician coming out of Toronto. His music is raw pop fantasy with emotional intrigue and he cannot wait to share it with the world. He’s a Chinese-born queer artist whose inspiration is borne out of rebellion. He’s not supposed to be Chinese and making pop music; He’s not supposed to be gay; He’s not supposed to emote sex. Well, he does. Denim Blù’s music training and influence spans three continents having studied and created in China, the UK, and Toronto. The product is a mosaic of sounds with elements of blues, dance, electronica, and R&B, all while being unapologetically queer. Sonically, his sound is influenced by Robyn, Christina Aguilera, and Charlie Puth with the lyrical quality of Florence + the Machine and Paloma Faith. Together, he creates new-age pop with a story to tell.
The debut album Blue will be released in early 2021. The plan is to debut my album on Spotify, Apple Music, and most major streaming platforms.
Blue is a dizzying array of contemporary songs that draw from pop, R&B, blues, and electronica; it captures youthful love, volatile love, and queer love. He’s poured my heart and soul into creating something by and for queer people, but with universal appeal. The synthesis of the album, from conception to creation, represents diversity – in sound, in people, in me; it’s very Toronto.
Burn hurts; Burn is a lament; it’s an admission of messing up in a relationship and coming to terms that something great is gone. The melody and lyrics are in the vein of Charlie Puth and its production draws inspiration from the infectiousness of Robyn’s Dancing On My Own. The vocal is undeniably youthful and the track should resonate in tone and in lyric with this demographic.
