Australian pop trio Blusher has put their spin on a Kesha classic for their very first Like A Version, transforming ‘Your Love Is My Drug’ into a gorgeous, glittery dream while still staying true to the OG’s party vibe.
It was a no-brainer for the trio (consisting of Miranda Ward, Jade Ingvarson-Favretto and Lauren Coutts), given that they first bonded over a love of Kesha before forming Blusher in 2021.
“There’s something about the shameless love of pop music that Kesha has really just always been an advocate for,” says Jade. “It’s kind of our guiding light.”
You can hear that love come through on RACER, the band’s just-released second EP packed with sugary, feelings-first electronica. Here, they turn Kesha’s rave-ready pop into something a touch softer, replacing acetone bleeps and bloops with their own trademark glistening vocal loops in place of synths.
We start off slow with a gorgeous three-way harmony straight out of dream-pop heaven, but the song turns up the ante with choreographed dance moves and live drums that bring the drama.
While each member has their moment in the sun, we gotta shout out Lauren’s take on Kesha’s iconic rap-bridge. Oh, and Jade threw in a couple of lines of ABBA’s ‘SOS’ at the track’s end, because why not?
Both immensely nostalgic and refreshing, Blusher’s take on ‘Your Love Is My Drug’ might just become your new obsession.
