Blue feat. Moor Mother” is the first single off Deep Dark Blue, the new album by Italian artist Francesca Morello — better known as R.Y.F., to be released April 5th, 2024, via Bronson Recordings.

“Blue” was written following a catamaran trip on the Stromboli Sea. Speaking on the single, Morello says:

“The song revolves around the soothing stun in observing that intense blue, which called to me and sucked me in. I thought it was an appealing song to give to Moor Mother for a collaboration; I adore everything she does, and we became friends after playing together a couple of times. Her textual contribution is perfect and the result literally blew me away – every time I listen to it and hear her voice grafted onto the music, I can’t help but smile.”

The cliffhanger theme of suffering poetically opens the circle in “Blue.” Groove with brassy beats, hip-hop cadences and an ancestral, nocturnal mood. R.Y.F. sings, “Blue is in my blood / Under my skin,” while Moor Mother’s spoken word descends imperiously from above as if it were that of a deity capable of instilling renewed vigour.

She adds: “Electro-punk is always there but overall there is much more, indulging an extreme variety of atmospheres. My will to compose an abysmally blue album.”
