Vera Blue Unveils Her First Major Release In 3 Years ‘In The Corner’

Summoning a fierce inner strength and attitude to match, VERA BLUE sheds her past skins with the release of her new single IN THE CORNER, her first major release in three years.

Receiving its First Play on triple j Drive with Abby & Tyrone, In The Corner is an unapologetic response to industry vultures and toxic exes. “There’s a moment, and maybe you’ve felt it, where you’re standing in a room, and somehow, you’ve been edged out of your own life. Pushed so far emotionally, mentally, spiritually, that you find yourself quite literally in the corner. Trapped, dismissed, reduced to silence. “In the Corner” was born in that space — but it refuses to stay there. This song is not about defeat. It’s about what happens next. When I wrote “In The Corner,” I was feeling the weight of being spoken over, of being underestimated, not just by one person, but by years of conditioning, of quiet compliance. I’d spent too long shrinking myself to make others comfortable. This track is my fight song. It’s the moment I turned around and faced the wall, not in surrender, but to push back, to launch forward,” Vera Blue shares.

As the first taste of Vera Blue’s new body of work, she channels the spirits of Ray of Light-era Madonna, 90’s Bjork and haunting dreampop pioneers Cocteau Twins. Raw, radiant and reborn; In The Corner is Vera Blue’s continual evolution, a feminine force of nature with a whole lot to say and zero f*cks to give.

“I poured every ounce of that energy into this track, not just for myself, but for every person who needs a soundtrack to their rebellion. And I use that word intentionally. Rebellion doesn’t have to be chaos; it can be clarity. It can be choosing peace on your own terms. It can be walking away with your head held high when someone thought you’d stay down. There’s something divine in reclaiming yourself. I feel it every time I sing this song — like a wildfire under my ribs. Like the kind of rage that blooms into something beautiful. Not destructive, but freeing. That’s what “In The Corner” is, not just a protest, but a rebirth.”

Emerging from the echoes of her debut album PERENNIAL and sophomore MERCURIAL, Vera Blue was keen to break new ground by collaborating with a fresh lineup of producers. The new single sees the celebrated artist working with CHRIS COLLINS (Matt Corby, Royel Otis) and JONO MA (Jagwar Ma, Flight Facilities, Babe Rainbow) and tapping into something instinctual and deeply textured.

“There was no formula, just jamming. The studio became a playground of analogue synths, driving crunchy industrial beats, keys and electric guitar and warped autotuned vocal effects… Jono and Chris brought this gritty, physical energy to the production that pushed it into an industrial-dance realm I hadn’t fully explored before.”

Accompanying In The Corner is the official video, directed by ARIA award-winning GREY GHOST (Troy Sivan, Tones & I, Ruel) and choreographed by ZOEE MARSH (Mallrat, Telenova). The world of Vera Blue has always been as much visual as it is sonic – especially seen in her standout videos: Regular Touch, Settle, Mended and Hold – and with In The Corner the visual narrative is symbolic, abstract and a dark fairytale of liberation.

Barefoot, in a torn long black lace dress armoured with gothic harness and headpiece, Vera Blue dances, twists, and breaks through invisible walls in a performance that is both aggressive and spiritual. “I fight not against a villain, but against the weight of expectation, control, and the lingering voices that tried to cage me. This is my release, a rebellion through movement, transforming my emotional turmoil into cinematic ritual. The clip is a raw, otherworldly journey through rage, resistance, and rebirth. “

Known for her dynamic live performances, emotion driven pop and soaring vocals, Vera Blue is currently working on a series of special intimate shows in June, giving fans a taste of what’s to come.

Details of these shows will be announced direct to fans next week, so sign up to here for more information.
