BREAKING: Australian pop trio Blusher has just released a dazzling cover of Kesha’s hit “Your Love Is My Drug” during their debut performance on triple j’s iconic Like A Version segment. This exciting announcement comes alongside the release of their new EP, Racer, making today a monumental day for the Melbourne-based group.
The trio, composed of Miranda Ward, Jade Ingvarson-Favretto, and Lauren Coutts, reinterpreted Kesha’s 2010 classic with their signature dreamy, glitter-infused sound. “There’s something about the shameless love of pop music that Kesha has really just always been an advocate for,” Ingvarson-Favretto expressed during the broadcast, emphasizing the personal connection they have with the song.
Blusher’s performance features layered harmonies, live drums, and choreographed moves, transforming the original’s sharp electro-pop edges. Coutts brilliantly tackled Kesha’s rap bridge, keeping the essence of the song alive while showcasing their unique aesthetic with wired headphones and bold red-and-black outfits.
The timing of this cover is crucial, as it coincides with Kesha’s recent success. Her latest album, released independently through her own Kesha Records, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard charts, including Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums, last month. This marks a significant career milestone for Kesha, who has transitioned from her previous label, Kemosabe/RCA Records.
Adding to the excitement, Kesha has announced a return to Australia for her T–ts Out Tour in late February 2026, with performances scheduled in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. However, her tour will not include a stop in Sydney, raising questions about her possible involvement in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, which coincides with her visit.
As fans eagerly await Blusher’s new EP and Kesha’s tour, the vibrant energy surrounding this cover performance is palpable. You can watch Blusher’s captivating rendition of “Your Love Is My Drug” below and join the conversation about this thrilling development in the music world.
