Today she releases Daisy Cutter, a new album that pushes even further into those contrasts. Entirely self-produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered, the record unfolds as a meditation on freedom’s contradictions, control and surrender, safety and risk. Its name reflects that tension too, evoking both the force of a bomb and the fragile gesture of trimming a flower. Alongside longtime collaborators like Charlotte Day Wilson, Oli XL, Cecile Believe, Sea Oleena, Mobilegirl and more, Ouri expands her vision while keeping its core deeply personal.

To accompany the album, Ouri has shared a new video for “Blush.” Self-directed and edited with visuals shot by Maiko, it captures her speeding through Paris at dusk in the backseat of a convertible, in between restless energy and fleeting intimacy. Watch below.

Ouri will be celebrating the release of the album with a headline show in Montreal tonight, before heading to Toronto and then across Europe and the UK later this year.
