2025 is shaping as a huge year for Velvet Bloom. The soul collective, who recently put pen to paper with Yama-Nui Records, are preparing for the release of their highly anticipated self-titled debut album.

Arriving Friday, March 28, Velvet Bloom is 11 tracks of gorgeous soul meets funk and pop-infused beats anchored by Maddy Herbert’s compelling vocals and introspective lyrics. Produced by band member Alex Marko, four singles have been lifted from the album so far – ‘My Love’, ‘Time’, ‘Silver Tongue’ and ‘Best in You’, which features the incredible talents of jazz clarinettist Brennan Hamilton-Smith.

Along with announcing the release of their studio debut, Velvet Bloom have revealed a monster 23-date Australian tour that includes both free and ticketed events in all seven states and territories.

Beginning with an in-store performance at Northside Records in Naarm (Melbourne) on Friday, March 28, the band then crisscrosses their way around the country playing at a mix of venues in small towns and capital cities before ending the tour in Adelaide at the Grace Emily Hotel on Saturday, July 12.
