‘Blue Raspberry’ is Katy Kirby’s follow-up to her acclaimed debut ‘Cool Dry Place’, released in February 2021. This new album, made with the same band and producers (Logan Chung and Alberto Sewald), steps on the gas and enters completely new territory as Katy establishes herself as a songwriter. She doesn't hesitate to venture into piano baroque pop on tracks like "Redemption Arc" and the title track "Blue Raspberry", and explores themes of loss and queer love in her lyrics. Few manage to capture the emotional and theatrical magic of artists like Fiona Apple, Tom Waits and Joanna Newsom, but Katy achieves this on this album, notably with the flagship track "Drop Dead".
