Dolce Blue, the indie-pop sensation hailing from Kalamunda, Western Australia, is back with a bang as they unveil ‘Sweet Melancholy Deluxe’, an expanded edition of their beloved album that’s set to redefine your playlist. Known for their infectious tunes and vintage charm, Dolce Blue combines catchy melodies with heartfelt lyrics, creating an irresistible blend that’s captured hearts worldwide.
This deluxe release not only pays homage to their original work but also introduces new tracks and reimagined favourites, promising an upbeat and engaging listening experience. Tracks like ‘Sugar Free’ and ‘Little Games’ inject fresh energy into their repertoire, while collaborative efforts in songs like ‘Rise & Fall’ and ‘Typical Kind of Fun’ showcase their dynamic songwriting prowess. The revamped version of ‘Dream Catcher,’ featuring local artist Finn Pearson, and the stripped-back rendition of ‘Dinosaurs’ offers new perspectives on familiar tunes. Plus, ‘Valentino,’ sung in Italian for the first time, adds a touch of exoticism to their signature laid-back vibe.
Veronica Zurzolo (vocals) discusses the meaning behind the deluxe edition album, explaining, “Sweet Melancholy has been a significant release for Dolce Blue, and we felt it wasn’t the right time to move on just yet. Instead, we wanted to celebrate it further with a deluxe version. I hope listeners can gain a fresh appreciation for the album and discover something new that resonates with them.”
Originating from their high school roots, Dolce Blue has quickly risen to prominence with their debut single ‘New White Sneakers’ and the critically acclaimed album ‘Sweet Melancholy.’ Their music has garnered widespread acclaim and airplay on platforms like RTRFM 92.1 and ABC’s Triple J, solidifying their reputation as a band to watch. Fresh off a successful nationwide tour and a standout showcase at BIGSOUND 2023, Dolce Blue is poised for even greater heights. With ‘Sweet Melancholy Deluxe’ hitting the airwaves in 2024, Dolce Blue invites fans old and new to join them on this exciting journey.
