**MARCH 31, 2023 **[**Nashville, TN] — EDGEOUT Records **artist **Bluphoria **are
thrilled to share their new single “[**Columbia**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=152569e97f&e=615f2b8493).”“
I always wanted to write a heavier more blues-oriented song for Bluphoria and I 
think that I did that with this song,” says rhythm guitarist and background vocalist**
Dakota Landrum** on the band’s final single off their self-titled major label full-
length debut, **_Bluphoria _**(release date: **May 5, 2023 **_via_** EDGEOUT Records/
UMe / UMG**). 

“When I was putting the words together, I wanted it to be a honest and revealing
look at desire and infatuation and needed the music to follow that. However, this
song has changed a lot from its conception and many things aren’t the same as the
first demo. It brings so much energy and fun to so many shows and I’m proud the 
whole band made it so much our own.” Lead vocalist and guitarist **Reign LaFreniere**
adds, “[‘Columbia’] is told through the lens of a toxic relationship with somebody.
It is one of our more ‘60s hard rock songs and a favorite of the entire band.” 

“Columbia” follows on the heels of the band’s newly released single/video for “[**Ain’t Got Me**](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2023/03/bluphoria-release-alt-rock-video-for-aint-got-me-ahead-of-full-length-debut-may-5/)”–
which The Honey Pop lauds “has so many beautiful layers, including great vocals 
and powerful guitars_” _– and the previous album singles “[**Walk Through The Fire**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=2655bd469d&e=615f2b8493)”
and “[**Set Me Up**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=2a033faf70&e=615f2b8493).”

For their album, the band worked with **GRAMMY®** award-winning producer **Mark 
Needham** (_Fleetwood Mac, Imagine Dragons, Mt. Joy, The 1975_) at both the famous
East Iris Studios in Berry Hill section of Nashville and his personal studio. Adds
Needham, “[Bluphoria is] a great young band with instinctive pop sensibilities combined
with a cool edginess and rawness.”
