“Blu is the perfect embodiment of the wild diversity of the NYC queer scene…highly catchy kaleidoscope of dark pop, New Wave, and industrial – as if Erasure, Scissor Sisters and Nitzer Ebb decided to join forces.” - Post-Punk.com
“Danny Blu doesn’t want anything to be misconstrued -- he is a queer man making intensely dark pop-rock music, and he won’t tone anything down for the sake of anyone’s sensitivities.” - Billboard Pride
“Danny Blu wards off anxiety by projecting his voice of positivity and change in his infectious new track, White (K)night.” - Alternative Press
”I see the term “industrial pop” used a lot these days, but Danny Blu’s music embodies that phrase better than any other artist.” - Synthpop Fanatic
“…raw emotion and sass back into the dark-pop genre. This [EP] crackles with mid-tempo dance beats to fill the back walls of the club. Personal soul threaded into club kid sleek trance.” - Sounds & Shadows | S+S Top Postpunk/Synthwave/Darkpop Albums of 2020
"[Burn]--a haunting, ’90s-indebted dark-pop ballad that’s heavy on the doom." - New Now Next / Logo TV
”Like a shiny, lascivious hard candy, Blu’s tunes contain the sugary sweetness of pop with the tooth-mashing, always-a-choking-risk of industrial and metal; it’s a candy first and foremost, but it’s not without some bite. The darkwave, electropop cornucopia of the EP is precisely channelled in the single White (K)night.” - V13 / Stereo Six
“well produced, well written, and an ideal example of what can be referred to as industrial pop…The Pale Horse is a record that, while straightforward, is very much a reflective self-expression of Danny Blu and carries bold messaging designed to make waves.” - ReGen
“His work is dark enough to appeal to alternative music fans, while being accessible enough to be enjoyed by the general public. That’s not selling out, it’s frankly genius.” - Crypt Teaze
“Danny Blu proves that goth is alive, well, and hella queer.” - Pride.com
“more than just the alt-rock experience by infusing the electric political climate of the time into their already emotionally charged music” - Popdust
“In an age of politically-charged music, listeners demand more from their artists…Danny Blu insists they're up for the challenge.” - Billboard
ABOUT
New York, New York
Danny Blu is a dark electro-pop act based in New York City. An electrifying, hybrid powerhouse, he bridges the sounds of industrial and pop through “infectious hooks” and serves up an expansive pop exhibition of fashion, video, and art.
Dubbed as the “industrial pop idol” and featured on Billboard, Alternative Press, The Huffington Post, NewNowNext amongst many others; Danny Blu began his career with stunning shock-rock performances in queer nightlife leading to the formation of the band, Echo Black. After an album and several North American tours, Blu debuted his first solo single, “Bubble”, on Billboard Pride.
The release of his first EP, “The Pale Horse” would storm the scene with provocative sex-positive singles & music videos and livestream shows throughout 2020. Enlisting the talents of producers MORIS BLAK and Walter Kazmier with the release of his sophomore EP, “MOLOTOV” on SHVDOW Records, Danny Blu solidified himself as “a force to be reckoned with”. In 2023, Blu embarked on his first co-headline tour with MORIS BLAK on “The American Dream Tour” — astonishing audiences nationwide.
