Blu DeTiger Keeps Momentum Going With "Shock!"

Today, singer, songwriter, producer, DJ, and bass guitar virtuoso Blu DeTiger keeps the momentum going with the premiere of her new single, “Shock!” available everywhere now here. Produced by The Outfit – the hit-making production duo of 4x GRAMMY® Award nominee Robin Hannibal (Kendrick Lamar, Little Dragon) and Dan Edinberg (Anderson.Paak, Kali Uchis) – the track is characterized by DeTiger’s fusion of funk, soul, disco, and a sharp New York City edge. “Shock!” is joined by an equally invigorating visual, inspired by her passion for competitive table tennis. Watch the official music video directed by Will Kindrick on YouTube here.

“‘Shock!’ was one of the first songs I made for this new project,” says Blu DeTiger, “and it really unlocked the world I’m building with this era. It’s all groove – funky, disco, boogie – but the vocals have this 2000s R&B flavor that makes it feel fresh and playful.”

She adds, “For the video, I like putting myself in places slightly surreal – being teleported into this blue table tennis center in Los Angeles and somehow feeling completely at home, but also totally unfazed by the chaos around me. People who know me know I’m very into ping-pong. I’ve been obsessed with the sport and training for the past two years, so it felt like the perfect way to bring another side of my life into the music.”

DeTiger’s summer lineup features a series of high-profile live dates, beginning with an appearance at Flavor Flav’s SHE Weekend in Las Vegas (July 16–19) in celebration of women’s sports and Olympic athletes. On August 6, she will travel to Spain to support Purple Disco Machine with a DJ set at the legendary Pacha Ibiza. The busy season will conclude with a highly anticipated hometown festival appearance at All Things Go NYC at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, NY, on Friday, September 25. In tandem with these dates, DeTiger will continue to celebrate “Shock!” with her ongoing Bounce event series, featuring pop-up dance parties and table tennis tournaments co-created alongside her brother, Rex DeTiger, and close friend, actor/musician Giullian Yao Gioiello.

“Shock!” marks the next level of DeTiger’s new creative era following the premiere of the disco-funk-fueled “Whisper” earlier this June. Like today’s release, “Whisper” is also joined by an official music video here. Anchored by its elevated aesthetic and a bassline played on Fender’s signature Sky Burst Sparkle Limited Edition Player Plus x Blu DeTiger Jazz Bass®, the track kickstarted DeTiger’s new sonic approach, eschewing her previous indie-pop flavors for a more glamorous dancefloor-filling sound and vision

Hailed by many as the undisputed future of bass, Blu DeTiger has quickly proven to be a groundbreaking musician and definitive bass player for the modern era. Born and raised in New York City, she performed at CBGB at just seven years of age. By 17, she was a staple in the city’s creative scene, playing in a multitude of bands and making waves as a DJ, playing live slap-bass grooves over DJ sets at Brooklyn techno raves and high-profile fashion events. In 2021, DeTiger released her independent debut EP, How Did We Get Here? Highlighted by the breakthrough single “Figure It Out” (which was named to NPR Music’s “Top 40 Songs of the Year”), the project earned over 120M global streams to date as well as attention from such publications as Rolling Stone, i-D, PAPER, Variety, Billboard, and more. DeTiger’s first full-length studio album, All I Ever Want Is Everything, followed in 2024, co-written by names including Chappell Roan, Uffie, and Mayer Hawthorne, and featuring acts such as Magdalena Bay and Mallrat.

DeTiger further proved herself an irresistible live performer with sold-out international headline runs, dates supporting Sabrina Carpenter, Jungle, ODESZA, and Charlie Puth, and show-stealing festival sets at Coachella, Lollapalooza, The Governors Ball, Life is Beautiful, Hangout Festival, and more. Along with her evolving solo output, DeTiger has performed alongside such artists as Olivia Rodrigo, Caroline Polachek, Dominic Fike, Chromeo, Jon Batiste, and Bleachers, joining the latter during their 2022 appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and then joining the band’s Jack Antonoff during his star-studded SuperJam at that year’s Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. Among the many accolades and milestones gathered on her journey thus far, DeTiger was named and featured on the cover of Forbes’ 2023 30 Under 30 list, has been on the cover of Bass Player, and is the youngest artist and only female bassist ever to release a signature Fender bass guitar. Currently boasting over 1.4M TikTok followers thanks in large part to a series of bass videos that have inspired a loyal army of aspiring musicians to take up the instrument themselves, DeTiger has been spotlighted in campaigns for such brands as DKNY, Bose, Levi’s, Guitar Center, and American Eagle. Adding to her list of accolades, she has DJed for fashion brands such as Valentino, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, among many others.

What looks to be a landmark 2026 for DeTiger kicked off with her being honored at the annual Bass Magazine Awards alongside icons like Primus’ Les Claypool, Green Day’s Mike Dirnt, Khruangbin’s Laura Lee, and jazz great Marcus Miller. Now, with “Shock!” – and more music to come – Blu DeTiger embarks on the next chapter of her extraordinary career, advancing her prismatic brand of funk-powered dance pop towards wildly innovative, unprecedented new terrain.
