The much-anticipated drop featuring three acoustic tracks is sure to satisfy die-hard followers and enchant newcomers. This July, Velvet Bloom and R&B songwriter Jay Jarome will tour cocktail bars, breweries and seaside venues across Victoria and Tasmania.

Building on the success of the 2022 EP Glimmer, Velvet Bloom plays to their strengths and is back with with strong vocals, a velvety sound and warmth that pierces the soul. Mastered by Joe Carra of Crystal Mastering, Where You Are is a collection of honest stories weaving themes of love, loss and grief, sung with authenticity and heart against dreamy synths and guitar. ‘Miles Away’ opens the EP, ‘Goodbye’ is a letter in song form for Maddy Herbert’s father, holding space for her farewell and his passing. The titular track ‘Where You Are’ is a collaboration featuring nipaluna/Hobart-based musician Jay Jarome.

‘This song takes me back to that longing, daydreaming of waking up with that special someone and having nothing on the agenda. Days of warm morning light through the window, lying in and loving all day, wine and dancing in the evening,’ says Jay Jarome.

Where You Are is out via C.W. Records.
