The Bleus
In the whirlwind of today's music industry, where genres blend and artists push boundaries, hailing from Charlotte North Carolina The Bleus our FRESH ARTIST OF THE MONTH for February is a rising name in the scene of Neo Soul.
The Bleus is more than a name, but a state of mind, an idea. It is an alignment of movement, soul, and balance. The Bleus conjures unity within each listener and thins the veil of differences we see between us. The main focus of "The Bleus" is to dig deep into this "state of mind" to channel the many emotions associated with the sounds of funk, Alternative R&B, and pop. Above all, to create a sense of freedom through lyrics and rhythm.
