Blue Hawaii are back with new album, ‘Tenderness’

Arbutus Records will release the LP on October 6th.

Canadian electronic duo Blue Hawaii (Raphaelle Standell and Alexander Kerby) are returning with a new album entitled ‘Tenderness‘.

We’re back ! It feels so good returning to Blue Hawaii after taking the past few years off. Today we’d like to share a new song, No One Like You, and announce our new record Tenderness. It’s a heartfelt one, opening up about an intimate relationship Ra was experiencing mostly online. It speaks of the need for more tenderness between each other in virtual and real life. Musically, it draws influence from 90’s dance tracks and deep disco cuts, mixed with with Ra’s acoustic guitar playing, confessional lyrics and unique vocal lines. Think: Bjork meets the xx and DJ Koze. As part of this release, we want to show support to our community in Montreal. 5% of profits from Tenderness will be donated to the Centre for Gender Advocacy which promotes harm reduction and empowerment while providing resources for community building and gender equality. We will be heading out on tour this fall, and would love to see you all! Our shows in the past have usually turned into impromptu raves and celebrations – so come prepared to dance with us :~) love ra & ag (link in bio!!)
