News broke earlier today of the third Bluey album, titled “Rug Island,” and we are beyond excited!
The follow-up to their previous two music soundtracks features more favorites from the Australian show, but this time with a focus on the third season. Best of all, the first song is available to listen to right now on Spotify, which is “Octopus” featuring King Stingray! If the entire album is anything like the last two, we know the music will be filled with joy and emotion, and a delight for kids and adults.
The album will release towards the end of October, and can be pre-ordered now at Amazon in both vinyl and CD form, and will be available on digital platforms as well.
Here is the official press release with all of the important details:
Bluey will release its third album, Bluey: Rug Island, featuring 16 original tracks from the global hit animated series, on October 25 via Demon Music Group. The new music is created by the series’ award-winning composer Joff Bush and the Bluey music team. Bluey: Rug Island will be released on streaming services, CD, beautiful sunset orange vinyl and limited-edition vinyl picture disc.
Bluey, produced by Emmy® Award-winning Ludo Studio, is a rare TV series beloved by audiences of all ages around the world. The show’s first album made history as the first children’s album to reach the #1 spot on the Australian Aria chart. Together, Bluey: The Album and Bluey: Dance Mode!, have racked up more than half a billion combined streams and both debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Kid Albums chart in the U.S.
Bluey: Rug Island, recorded in Brisbane, Australia, is a playful journey through the imaginations of sisters Bluey and Bingo. Featuring tracks from all three series, the album takes inspiration from the episode “Rug Island” – a place where children play, and adults embrace their inner kid.
Joff Bush says: “The album plays out with these little versions of Rug Island, which are like little journeys into the world of the kids’ imagination, and their games and what they play.”
More highlights on the album include “Onesies” and a new vocal version of the “Bluey Theme Tune (Vocal Version).” Standout tracks include an ‘80s-inspired synth rock “Fairytale,” a traditional style sea shanty “Explorers,” a driving rock song “Muffin Drive,” and a simple sweet track “Turtleboy.”
The collection will be available to stream and download worldwide on October 25 and will be released on CD, sunset orange vinyl and 7,000 copies of a limited-edition vinyl picture disc.
