An honest, relatable gem, ‘Blown The Blue Away’ is certainly about to inspire a large slice of listeners. Dealing with mental health struggles and the constant fight with one’s inner demons, the song touches a delicate theme with incredible softness and playfulness, guided by the evocative vocals of its author, young songstress Diya Shanmugaraj.
The talented fourteen-year-old is slowly but surely blooming into a global phenomenon. Boasting a previous single under her belt (Bulletproof), Shanmugaraj showcases a soothing, gentle and controlled vocal tone, wrapping the listeners in cathartic energy and honey-like melodies. In fact, the strong contrast between the musical material and its lyricism is the most striking aspect of the record.
A contrast that works very well, aided by the sapient hands of producer Jimmy Naples. Speaking about the song, Diya explains: “I wanted the overall message to inspire and motivate others to brush aside their worries and carry on, regardless of what obstacles they encounter”.
