Danish music veterans Blue Foundation are keeping fans warm this season with a new cinematic capture of their iconic song “Eyes on Fire.” While their next album is slated for 2025, this electrifying live performance, filmed at a sold-out Royal Danish Theatre show, is sure to tide fans over.
From Twilight Soundtrack to TikTok Sensation:
“Eyes on Fire” soared to new heights after its inclusion on the “Twilight” soundtrack, becoming synonymous with cold-weather nostalgia and even inspiring the tongue-in-cheek term “hoa hoa season” on social media. Today, the song finds a new audience through a viral resurgence on TikTok, proving its enduring popularity.
A Hauntingly Beautiful Performance:
The live video captures the raw energy of the performance. Lead singer Tobias Wilner reflects, “It was such an intense and amazing experience…This song isn’t just ours anymore; it belongs to everyone who listens.” The video showcases the band’s signature blend of dream pop and electronic music, creating an immersive and atmospheric experience.
A Look Back at Blue Foundation:
Founded by Tobias Wilner in 2000, Blue Foundation has consistently pushed musical boundaries. Initially inspired by the rotating lineup approach of The Fall, Wilner has since collaborated with a diverse range of artists including Jonas Bjerre (Mew), Erika Spring (Au Revoir Simone), and DJ Krush. Their critically acclaimed albums, such as “Life of a Ghost” and “In My Mind I Am Free,” have cemented their place in the indie music scene.
Beyond “Eyes on Fire”:
Blue Foundation’s reach extends beyond their biggest hit. Their music has graced the soundtracks of films like “Miami Vice” and TV shows like “The Vampire Diaries.” They’ve also been sampled by prominent rappers like Lil Durk and Young Thug, and even co-wrote a song for Machine Gun Kelly.
