- It's the duo's first record in four years.
Blue Hawaii are back with a new LP.
Tenderness is the first new material from Canadian artists Raphaelle Standell and Alexander Kerby (who also DJs under the name Agor) since 2013's Untogether. Where that album was about the duo's romantic breakup, the new one is inspired by mediating relationships through the internet and long-distance communication.
Arbutus Records says the album takes influences from '90s dance music and "deep disco cuts," mixed in with Standell's acoustic guitar. Tenderness also features skits, spoken word sections and demos to help tell its story.
In the four years since Untogether, Standell has focused on her other band, Braids, while Kerby spent extended periods of time in LA and Berlin focusing on his DJ career.
Listen to "No One Like You."
