Powder Blue is the second full-length album from Begonia. This album holds a muted nostalgic touch, with musings on religion, virginity, gender identity and sexuality. It encompasses Begonia’s emotional depth, but also a pop lightness. These are two sides she’s always tried to balance and on Powder Blue she let her guard down even more. She didn’t hold back and these are her most vulnerable songs yet. In Begonia’s own words: “Powder Blue is more of an emotion. It makes me think of my baby blanket, the colour of the Virgin Mary’s shawl at the church Christmas play, the airiness of clouds on a summer day, chlorine filled water in a hotel pool, Elvis in the 70’s wearing an ill-fitted jumpsuit, and the wallpaper in my room growing up. The name of this album needed to be something that encompasses all of the feelings that these songs give me when they are put together. When I listen to them as a unit, they send me back to the words, the colour.”
