In 2023, Galdive embarked on their maiden tour in China, winning the hearts of countless music lovers. Now two years later, the duo is set to launch their brand-new "Blue Tour," coinciding with the highly anticipated release of their upcoming album Blue—promising audiences another mesmerizing musical journey.
About《Blue》
Galdive reveals that Blue carries a more mature essence compared to their previous albums. Their deepening connections with family and friends have opened new creative channels, drawing richer inspiration from the music they've absorbed. This evolution has led them to experiment with acoustic instruments and revisit musical influences from the past—particularly the resonant sounds of the 1980s—infusing these elements into their new work.
The title track Blue, the first song written for this album, established its entire tonal foundation. More than just a musical centerpiece, "blue" holds personal significance as Tisha's favorite color—a hue that captures both the tranquility of open skies and the poetic melancholy of human emotion, mirroring the album's emotional duality.
Notably, Galdive's new album Blue is set for release on May 9th under Mom+Pop Music—the prestigious New York-based independent label that boasts an impressive roster including internationally acclaimed artists like FKJ, Tycho, Beach Bunny, and Courtney Barnett.
Serving as the namesake theme for their upcoming tour, Blue will not only showcase fresh material but also feature creatively reimagined versions of fan-favorite tracks from their previous albums, offering audiences both nostalgic familiarity and exciting new musical dimensions.
About Galdive
Galdive's musical journey began in 2019 when Osvaldo and Tisha, then music students at the University of Jakarta, discovered their remarkable artistic chemistry during a coursework collaboration. The duo's name creatively blends Osvaldo's surname "Galih" with Tisha's surname "Diva" - a symbolic fusion that reflects their artistic philosophy. "We wanted our names to represent our music," they explain, "because we believe our sound is essentially an extension of who we are."
Galdive draws musical inspiration from their expansive exploration across genres and eras, selectively blending favorite elements from diverse styles to craft their signature sound. Refusing to be confined to any single genre, they thrive on experimenting with boundless creative possibilities.
Their artistry extends beyond personal projects - they notably composed and produced Die 4 You, one of Korean artist DEAN's biggest hits. Beyond music, the multi-talented duo immerses themselves in visual arts, having personally created all their music videos and designed the visual aesthetics for their releases.
Listening to Galdive's music is like stepping into a finely-crafted late-century speakeasy, only to be served cocktails that could only be mixed in modern times—where vintage charm meets contemporary alchemy. We eagerly anticipate immersing ourselves in the intoxicating atmosphere they'll conjure during their live performances, slowly surrendering to Galdive's masterfully blended sonic elixirs.
