Blue Foundation drop new live capture for ‘As I Moved On’

Published

on

While we wait for Blue Foundation’s new album, expected in 2025, there’s a new treat to enjoy in the meantime—a cinematic capture of the band performing their song “As I Moved On” at the sold-out Royal Danish Theatre. It’s a memorable moment, now available for everyone to see.

“As I Moved On” is about refusing to be “stuck in your machine” and finding the courage to break free from a restrictive relationship or system. The journey follows a pull toward self-discovery, answering a personal “calling from the wild.” Along the way, there are moments of sorrow and challenge, but each trial ultimately brings strength. The repeated call to “come and dance” celebrates the freedom and resilience found in embracing one’s own path.

Blue Foundation’s lead singer Tobias Wilner says the following about performing As I Moved On at the sold-out Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen this year: “Playing As I Moved On live at the Royal Danish Theatre was powerful—almost like reliving the journey the song tells. To share that energy with the audience in such an iconic space, surrounded by people who connect with the music, was unforgettable,”

Founded in 2000 by Danish singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Tobias Wilner, the group was inspired by Mark E. Smith’s method of forming a band (The Fall), with Wilner recruiting a rotating lineup of traditional musicians over the years to fuel creativity. Since 2010, the core members of the band have been Tobias Wilner and Bo Rande, working between Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and Copenhagen, Denmark.

Blue Foundation is renowned for their distinctive fusion of electronic music and dream pop. Drawing inspiration from the ethereal nature of dream pop and a moody, introspective atmosphere, the band creates immersive soundscapes characterized by emotive vocals and intricate production. Their music often evokes a sense of melancholy and reflection, resonating with listeners who appreciate ambient, emotive melodies and introspective themes.

The band has released several well-received albums, including “Life of a Ghost”, “In My Mind I Am Free” and “Blood Moon”. These albums showcase their signature style and have cemented their reputation in the indie music scene. They have collaborated with a range of artists and producers, enriching their sound and expanding their reach within the music industry. Collaborators include Jonas Bjerre (Mew), Erika Spring (Au Revoir Simone), Findlay Brown, DJ Krush, Sara Savery, and Wang Wen.

Blue Foundation’s music has been featured in various popular films, such as Michael Mann’s “Miami Vice,” and TV shows like “The Vampire Diaries.” Their song “Eyes on Fire” gained significant fame after being included in the soundtrack of the movie “Twilight”. Blue Foundation is sampled by Lil Durk featuring French Montana on his track “Fly High” and Young Thug‘s song “She Noticed.” They co-wrote the song “Taurus” for Machine Gun Kelly.

The band’s live performances, as showcased in the new cinematic capture, are equally captivating, combining live instruments with electronic elements and striking visuals to create an immersive experience for audiences.

Hope Easton Releases Heartfelt and Humorous New Wedding Song “3D Life”

Published

on

A Song for Family, Love, and Life’s Beautiful Complexity

Acclaimed cellist, vocalist, and composer Hope Easton announces the release of her latest single, “3D Life,” a vibrant, funny, and deeply personal song written for her niece and goddaughter, Leylan, on the occasion of her wedding to David. The song is now available on all major streaming platforms.

Blending humor, sentimentality, and a rich musical palette, “3D Life” captures the spirit of a modern wedding anthem—with a wink. Easton draws from inside family jokes, generational wisdom, and musical traditions to craft a piece that feels as timeless as it is tailor-made.

“It’s her wedding song—with a little humor, it could easily be in Wedding Crashers,” says Easton with a smile. “It’s really about life, and how we go through everything together.”

The track reflects on family legacy—quoting the bride’s grandfather’s dry wit (“You can’t always be happy” after watching someone get married) and celebrating the bride’s connection to her talented maternal grandmother, Easton’s own mother. With loving candor, Hope jokes that Leylan is the only one of six nieces who can’t sing—but inherited all the other gifts. “In the end,” Easton says, “it’s about love. We’re all here to love one another, or we wouldn’t be here.”

“3D Life” concludes with a nod to the couple’s new shared last name, now known affectionately as “The Swifts.”
