Acclaimed singer/songwriter, Bloom, is empowering the world to stop and take a breath with her new single titled ‘Choices’, released through Rocksoup Records (MGM) on Friday May 6, 2022. In this modern day and age, where life is moving at an ever-increasing rate, regardless of turbulence or obstacles, there’s no message so apt when it comes to making choices.

Co-written and co-produced by Bloom and Kalin Ignatov-Velev, ‘Choices’ explores the importance of believing in yourself and believing in your own power to make your choices introspectively without fear, or expectation, or even to that of what others think. Even more poignant is to stop, breathe and take the time to find the validation within yourself.

“It’s crucial we take a minute to gather our thoughts,” says Bloom. “With clarity you make better choices.”

Bloom has already previously touched on her own struggle with keeping a clear mind in her 2020 single, ‘A Minute’ where the pushing and pulling in her life cost her the ability to do what’s core to a musician: write music. The realisation forced her to make a choice to quit pushing her limits and to take time to find a balance.

Bloom is a seasoned touring prowess in her own right, with sold out shows across the country and abroad in New Zealand, she knows how to engage her audience. Bloom is a sublime performer and brings to the stage a professionalism that has been described as “stunning”, “mesmerising” and “captivating”, even being labelled by some of Australia’s leading music stars as a “singer of our generation”.

Discover all the shades of Pastel Vespa. Imagine a Latin blonde with the charm of Judith Durham and the silky voice of Claudine Longet surrounded by musical maestros that could be re-incarnations of Bacharach, Jobim or Tony Hatch. Think of a cabaret star from Australia , a real Queen of Easy Listening, a groovy and cheesy Shirley Bassey. OK? Then put the best bossa nova and easy listening moods and camp cover versions of hits by The Sex Pistols, Astrud Gilberto, Kiss, Chumbawamba, Ian Durie or Alanis Morrissette. This is The Experience. Enjoy the unique sounds of Pastel Vespa Exotica? Lounge pop? Mambo Pop? Anarchy Cha-cha? Odd kind of nostalgia? Time for action.
Pastel Vespa is the voice of Spring, a fresh daisy in dappled sunlight, but just as comfortable après-ski after an Audrey Hepburn-style day on the slopes. Sports cars, impossibly long white scarves, knitted daisy dresses. This is the world of Pastel Vespa .
"L'Anarchie" (siesta 162), the first full-length album and testament to the talent of this new star. Armed with unforgettable songs by Messrs. Lynott, Morrisette, Dury, and Rotten, amongst others and aided by the rhapsodic musical direction of Mr. John Thorn, Pastel takes you on a journey into exciting new musical terrain. Mariachi bands strum where electric guitars once howled, smooth lounge blows the angst from Chumbawamba and "Ironic" gets the torch song treatment it always craved. Pastel slows the KISS classic "I Was Made For Lovin' You" down to a bedroom purr, "Teenage Dirtbag" goes adult-contemporary and "Evie Pts 1, 2 & 3", the quintessential Australian 70's rock anthem, becomes a melding of lounge, The Carpenters and Latin disco! Yes the boys are back in town, but this time they're packing marimbas! And as for Pastel's singing, suffice to say it's as warm as the sunlit waters of Bahia .
“Takin’ The Back Roads” (siesta 192), is an extraordinary second album that only takes a few spins to blossom. Essentially when Pastel sings, nations meet nations, her vocals glide - Metallica meets Kaempfert, The Cure meets The Four King Cousins, Nakamura meets Joao Gilberto, Prince meets Tito Puente, The Angels meet Brigitte Bardot and New Order/ Joy Division meets Herb Alpert, just to name a few. Think of the United Nations of Pop or the majestic Tower of Babel and the integrating capacity of art. All the cover versions from this chanteuse are appealing and replete of singalong hooks.

Fiona and John Thorn are prolific, mobile and versatile artists. Their fecund imagination has generated from spontaneous and improvised Broadway Musicals “every night” to theatre plays of great success not to mention their musical restlessness of different sources and latitudes. They have played in Thailand , Emirates and Indonesia , always with great recognition and pleasure. They have been recently commissioned for the first moon festival in 2015. Let’s fly!
