BLUAI – It's Gotta Be Me

Pain sounds beautiful. Delicately picked guitars and a soft arrangement drawn from Americana and folk traditions open the track, as Belgian trio BLUAI captures a gut-wrenching realisation.

About the episode: It's Gotta Be Me unfolds the painful moment when holding on is no longer the kindest thing to do. A quiet confession wrapped in fingerpicked guitars and Americana warmth.

About BLUAI: A three-piece girl band based in Antwerp. What started as Catherine Smet's intimate bedroom project (voice, guitar) quickly evolved into a full-fledged band with Caitlin Talbut on bass and Mo Govaerts on drums. Within a few months, the trio won Belgium's three major music contests—Humo's Rock Rally, Sound Track and De Nieuwe Lichting—and even made it to a billboard in Times Square as ambassadors for Spotify's Equal campaign for more women in music.
