After a three-year hiatus, German singer-songwriter Au/Ra has returned with the brand new single, "BLAH".
“BLAH is a song I wrote to let out my frustrations. I’ve been pursuing my career since I was 13, and I feel like up to now, everything I’ve gone through has been like music industry finishing school. I love writing in riddles and metaphors, but I wanted this song to be more angry, raw, and straightforward than anything I’ve done before.”
Alongside the release, Au/Ra has announced three headline dates this September, in Manchester, London, and Berlin, marking her first live performances since 2022.
"BLAH" is out now via Polydor Records.
