About
Dolce Blue (pron. Dolchay Blue) writes love songs. Not necessarily the happy kind.
The Perth-based singer-songwriter creates cinematic noir-pop steeped in glamour, danger and emotionally charged storytelling, blending glossy alt-pop and synth-pop with indie textures, old Hollywood elegance and a fascination with romantic delusion. Her songs explore the complicated spaces between desire and obsession, confidence and vulnerability, fantasy and reality.
After years in the indie scene, Dolce Blue has stepped fully into her identity, building a world where sharp silhouettes, femme fatales and late-night heartbreak coexist. Inspired by divas, vintage fashion, femme fatales, and crime cinema, her new music is darker, sleeker and more self-assured, while remaining rooted in the emotional messiness of love.
Dolce began releasing music with Forever Is Too Long (2019) and the Always Blue EP (2020), followed by the 2023 album Sweet Melancholy. Since then, she has performed across Australia, appearing at WA Day Festival, BLOOM, and unofficial BIGSOUND showcase and Blues at Bridgetown Festival and sharing stages with Eliza & The Delusionals, Death By Denim, Dear Seattle, Didirri and Park Rd. Her music has received national radio support from Triple J, RTRFM, PBS FM, 4ZZZ and more.
Now, Dolce is entering her most defined chapter yet. Her 2026 single Waste Your Time marked the beginning of a darker, noir-inspired era, exploring the particular kind of yearning that belongs to someone who knows they shouldn’t be in love, but is anyway. Next comes Sentimental, due 25 September 2026, a bittersweet single about romanticising relationships and mistaking longing for something deeper. The release continues the story of Dolce’s forthcoming LP, Love in Retrospect - a collection of love songs about the people, fantasies and feelings we only understand properly once they’re over.
Because Dolce Blue writes love songs. She just has a complicated relationship with love.

“Dolce Blue are a remarkably special band, if you haven't come across them already. The four-piece specialise in this blend of melancholic and sweet indie-pop; detailed with swaying melodies and rich, yet often-intimate lyricism that blend together to create hazy bursts of alt-pop and indie brilliance, something they've consistently shown ever since their debut a few years ago.” Pilerats
