Blusher's Dreamy Rendition: Kesha's 'Your Love Is My Drug' Cover on triple j's Like A Version
Blusher, an Australian pop trio, recently made their debut on triple j’s Like A Version covers segment with a unique rendition of Kesha’s “Your Love Is My Drug.” The group, formed in 2021 by Miranda Ward, Jade Ingvarson-Favretto, and Lauren Coutts, chose to cover the song due to their shared admiration for Kesha's unapologetic pop music style. Blusher's performance featured harmonies, live drums, and choreography, showcasing their dreamy and glittery production aesthetic. The trio also included their own twist on the track, with Coutts delivering Kesha's rap bridge and the group sporting bold red-and-black styling.
The cover was released on the same day as Blusher's second EP, "Racer," which further solidified their presence in the music scene. Kesha's original version of "Your Love Is My Drug" was a chart-topping hit in 2010, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Kesha herself has been making waves with her latest album, ". (Period)," which debuted at No. 1 on various Billboard charts. The album marks Kesha's first independent release after parting ways with Kemosabe/RCA Records and establishing her own label, Kesha Records.
In support of her new album, Kesha announced a series of headline dates in Australia as part of her T–ts Out Tour. The tour will include performances in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth in late February 2026. Notably, the tour does not include a stop in Sydney, despite coinciding with the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. While Kesha's involvement in the festivities remains unconfirmed, her return to Australia is highly anticipated by fans.
