The Blue Hour is Laucirica’s compelling meditation on the nuances of motherhood, identity, acceptance and connection. All of which comes together on its centrepiece single, ‘Now or Never’ – a sonic articulation of the moment when the sun breaks the blue morning light and the world becomes clear again.
“It’s about inhabiting an optimistic landscape. One that looks brightly towards the future and appreciates its past as well.”
"Now or Never is a testament to her evolution—delicate yet powerful, melancholic yet hopeful. Laucirica has once again reminded us why she remains a vital force in Australia’s music landscape”. - Crush Cop
