On Wednesday, November 18, we welcome Scottish singer-songwriter Blair Davie back to Patronaat! Following the critically acclaimed EP First and Last, Blair Davie returns with You Like Ugly, Don't You Babe: a poignant new EP revealing an even more vulnerable side of the artist. While his earlier work revolved around hope and love, Davie now also explores the dark periods that preceded them. Themes such as trauma, mental health, identity, self-acceptance, and the healing power of love are translated with unprecedented honesty into cinematic indie pop full of emotion.
That authenticity did not go unnoticed. Davie was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award, won the Amazon Music UK Rising Star Award, and received praise from BBC Music Introducing, BBC Radio Scotland, and The Clash, among others. With influences from artists such as Sam Fender, Phoebe Bridgers, and Noah Kahan, but a sound that feels entirely her own, Blair Davie effortlessly switches between intimate ballads and grand indie pop. Expect an evening full of goosebumps, poetic lyrics, and songs that will resonate long after.
