One of Scotland’s most promising alt-pop talents of late has been Blair Davie. With only a handful of releases so far, this emerging singer-songwriter has already picked up thousand of streams and found themselves performing alongside the likes of Calum Scott.
Blair unveils their new single today, entitled ‘Lovely’. Written as a dedication to the trans community, the song’s lyricism is not only refreshingly empowering, but also serves as a reminder to embrace and love yourselves for who you are.
“For as long as I can remember I’ve suppressed and hidden parts of me I didn’t want the world to see. The world can be so unkind to things that are different. I never spoke about it with anyone and had become so used to being someone I truly wasn’t that I barely even thought about it. Then one day last year I watched an episode of Queer Eye about a transgender person just letting themselves be who they are and celebrating that and it awoke something in me. Being unapologetically who I am can be terrifying and difficult but every day that I try, I find that I shine a little bit brighter.”
To date, this rising artist has garnered praise from the likes of BBC Introducing, Earmilk, RTE and The Scotsman. Blair joins Sam Fischer on tour from tonight. Dates and venues are listed below, and tickets can be found here.
