WATCH: Blu DeTiger Locks Into a Hypnotic Groove on “Makeup”

Blu DeTiger released her second studio album, N.Y. Baby, on November 6th and she’s keeping the grooves coming. She just shared a live rehearsal performance of “Makeup,” one of the tracks from the new record.

Armed with her signature sparkle Fender Jazz Bass, DeTiger is sitting right in the pocket. The repeating groove is simple but infectious. It’s the kind of bass line that gets under your skin without trying too hard.

The video has a cool throwback vibe, shot in a 4:3 format with grainy footage that gives it a vintage feel.  DeTiger says the song was inspired by the raw, minimalist grooves of New York funk band ESG with bass, drums, and spoken vocals at its core.

“Makeup” was originally released as a single on October 16th. The song appears on N.Y. Baby, which draws inspiration from New York City’s nightlife.
