Vera Blue today shares exciting news that she's inked a label in the US. 

The Sydney-based artist (real name Celia Pavey) has announced that she has now signed with Republic Records for the United States. 

That's not all for Pavey though, with new single Lie To Me also being released today. 

"When you go through a lot of emotional shit, you can’t imagine yourself in a new relationship," she said of the track. 

"Then you suddenly fall into one, and the fear and mistrust can be overwhelming: ‘is this as amazing as it seems - or is it going to blow up in my face again!'"

The track once again saw Pavey work with brothers Thom and Andy Mak, who helped shape her Vera Blue debut album back in 2017.

“The lyrics and melodies that I wrote with Thom came from a more poetic and obscure experimental place for both of us," she said. 

"With Andy digging into new exciting sonic landscapes imitating the raw emotion and Jackson bringing the tones to life tracking various instruments through the amazing sounding console and outboard gear at The Grove Studios. This song had us all wide eyed and buzzing."

“I recently watched some vision of myself when I first started performing – my voice was so sweet and innocent! I could not have reached the belting moments at the end of Lie To Me back then. My voice is stronger than it ever has been which enhances what we create in the studio”.

Vera Blue will be sharing an exclusive performance of Lie To Me, and her track Regular Touch, as part of the YouTube Music Sessions series with ARIA on Wednesday 26 August at 7pm.
