A review of singles “Perfect Universe” and Sweet Barbwire”
In short, let me just say this – in a perfect world Sunset Blush, Jimmy Page, Tom Petty, and Prince would all jam and rock out on the main stage with purple lights blazing as they are equally majestic on the guitar wielding that instrument to their demand. But for now, take a minute and close your eyes and open your ears and just listen to the opening bars of “Perfect Universe” by Sunset Blush – his vocals are almost musical as they evoke your senses.
Blush’s track “Perfect Universe” displays love lost and how perfection is in the eye of the one judging, and anything or everything they see as perfect makes it perfect. Even a memory could be perfect! Blush’s skills on the strings (guitars and keys) are just magnificent – so overpowering yet fragile accompanying this track’s message PERFECTLY.
Equally, his video for that track splendidly personifies what a perfect universe would be like – no prejudice, no cruelty, no straight lines, no set colors, just beauty in any form you can imagine. And Sharon from Melbourne Ballet Company illustrates this balance of perfection from her opening Plie. Sharon is like the swan who came to inspire Blush with the PERFECT display of fluttering arms and wrists as well as the poised elegant Bourre – she’s his memory of a love he holds dear and also his muse.
