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

Published

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.

Naomi Aguilera casts her spell with her new single BB ILY

Two years ago, Naomi Aguilera walked onto my radar with EGO, an infectious soulful pop debut that made it impossible not to move. Fast forward to her debut EP Mosaïques, and it was clear she wasn’t just passing through. Personal, colorful, rooted in her Spanish heritage & Brussels upbringing, it even earned her a spot as Apple Music Benelux’s Up Next artist!

Now she’s back with BB ILY, marking the start of a new era. The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.

First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
