Kira Puru is an Australian vocal talent, but more than that. She’s a multi-disciplinary artist, hands-on at every level, both on stage and in the studio. Apart from that, she’s a photographer, visual artist and DJ.

Renowned for her genre-bending style, Kira Puru’s new single isn’t easy to pin down. With its pounding four-to-the-floor beat, fuzzy bass and tremolo guitar, Tension is equal parts funk and soul. In her own words, it’s ‘goth disco’.

One thing’s for sure: it’s groovy from start to finish and I love it! That’s why Tension by Kira Puru is featured here prominently this week as the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard.
