Bloo Fooz – Night Star (Because of You) (Single Review)

Bloo Fooz, a name if you haven’t heard before, is a studio band that was gathered and culminated to experiment in original music composed by an individual called Dez Maree. The music that they perform was recorded in what was an abandoned church located in central Indiana. Their newest single, ‘Night Star’ (Because of You) was released on the 11th of August 2025, and first broadcast to international listeners on the 23rd of August 2025 through the radio station Valley FM 89.5, based in Canberra, Australia.

The performers of this conception include Cale Moon ‘Hound-Dog’ Dobro with no distinguishable act, Denise Stewart-Baker on backing vocals, JMAN on Drums and percussion, Pipes of Valinor on Gaelic Pipes and Woodwinds, and the elusive Dez Maree on Guitars, Bass, Arrangements, Lead and Harmony Vocals, Composing, Engineering and Producing.

The song presents itself as a mix between country, folk, psychedelia, baroque pop and soul. It’s an extremely eclectic song with depth and emotion that bleeds through even though it has some slight issues with the mastering and the balancing. There is enough motivic variation within the instruments present within the song: the keys, the acoustic section, the strings, the synths, the vocals to keep you interested in the song as you listen to it.

One of the redeeming parts of this song is definitely the emotional structure that goes hand in hand with the chord structure of the song itself, presenting a dynamic but emotionally compelling sequence for one to emote to. In some instances, this song is almost like a neo-Western song, with enough amendments to make the genre modern. It’s exciting, complex, and filled with mini-motifs and solos from each instrument to keep your ears peeled.

The harmonized vocals also provide the song with a strong backing to the main vocals, which have been filtered off to provide an interesting and futuristic effect. It’s a track that definitely passes the test of musical variability, crossing between compositional and presentation techniques to give you a pleasant listening experience that goes beyond a ‘simple song’.

SCORE /Excellent – NIGHT STAR (Because of You) is a compelling track that simply unwinds with more possibilities the longer that you listen to it. It has a complex structure with a lot of motivic variation and a unique form of presentation, giving itself an edge over other releases out today.
