Blue Moon by Blue Rose
Released on May 30, 2025, and produced by Noam Wallenberg at Chicago's own Rax Trax Recording, Blue Moon is as much a record about seeing our own ‘bigger picture’ as it is a reflection of Blue Rose’s story.
Blue Rose's debut album – down to its very name – captures these core aspects of the group’s identity.
“A blue moon is this rare, beautiful, kind of magical thing.” the group explains. “About midway through writing our album, there was this blue supermoon that we all got the chance to admire - this was coincidentally after we had already written our song Blue Moon! We took it as a sign, put there right in front of us – given that one of our mantras is ‘it’s there if you just stop to notice it.’ From then on, we knew that our album would be called Blue Moon, after its title track, and that all twelve songs within the album in one way or another, fit beneath the canopy of ‘rare and beautiful.”
