BLUEM is the recording project of Chiara Floris, a London-based singer/songwriter and producer from Sardinia, Italy. After moving to the UK to study music, BLUEM self-released her first English-sung EP, Picolina, in 2018. Following three years of experimentation, the artist chose to take a deep dive into archaic sentiments with her 2021 project NOTTE, reverting back to her mother-tongue for much of the project, and receiving widespread praise in the Italian music scene for its thoughtful exploration of instinctive and primordial love. Her latest project, nou, released May 2023, opens up to vast landscapes of sound through pop songs and instrumentals, keeping its centre in the complex thematic of femininity. BLUEM’s work is grounded in a deep understanding of, and appreciation for, Sardinia’s unique heritage and folklore. Her projects invariably allude to ancient Sardinian stories both in the music and in the portfolio of visual art that accompanies each release. Alongside writing and producing, BLUEM’s music has been heavily influenced by her engagement with pole dance training. Her relationship with pole, and the discipline that it demands, has become an informative part of her creative process. Her radio show, MUSICA PER IL CORPO (Music For Your Body) broadcast on Milan’s Radio Raheem, showcases the important connection between the expressive movement of pole dancing and its soundtrack.
