Sunshine by Bobby Blue

When most people hear me sing they think I am a woman. I am a counter-tenor, with a 4 octave vocal range. My voice has often been compared to Karen Carpenter, Sinéad O'Connor, and Jeff Buckley. I have been singing all my life and write on acoustic guitar.

My new album, the retro-electro pop perfect, 'sunshine' is uplifting, and melodic. Recorded with DFA Records engineer, Abe Seiferth, we have woven together influences of 1960s pop and modern electronic music, like Erasure, and The Pet Shop Boys. The glitchy electro-country song, 'go', and the cover of Bread's 1971 hit, 'if', are sadder moments, but the happy synth title track, 'he loves me', and 'feel good' hold the spirit of the album as they celebrate the more fun, and happier times of life. I wrote most of these songs in my mother's home country, Costa Rica, which adds a slight tropical feel to the music, like in 'blue island', and 'pura vida'.

Before the albums release, select songs were tested as singles and played on a few indie radio stations around the world. The tracks caught the ears of club DJs in Europe, and America, and many songs were remixed for the dance floor. I have included two club mixes on the album. The Tim Letteer remix of 'in a song' climbed the Billboard Dance Chart for 15 weeks.

Inspired by his Costa Rican and American roots, Billboard charting queer Singer Songwriter Bobby Blue will transcend you through the roof with 4 octaves and his Latin-filtered, acoustic, reimagined covers that blend beautifully with his infectious original songs. Romance, Latin haunts with Classic Country themes and party Rockabilly.
