Mercurial is the third studio album by Australian folk musician Vera Blue (the second under the name Vera Blue). It was released on 28 October 2022 through Island Records Australia.
Upon announcement on 31 August 2022, Vera Blue said "This body of work has been a long time coming and tells the stories of my life since Perennial came into the world. This album is colourful, emotional, personal, chaotic, passionate, transformative and beautiful and most of all, mercurial." The album was preceded by the release of the singles "The Curse" and "Mermaid Avenue". To support the album, Vera Blue embarked on the Mercurial Tour, commencing in the Gold Coast on 3 November 2022.
Mercurial was released on vinyl on 12 May 2023 featuring two new songs, "One Condition" and "Take Your Time".
Reception
Bryget Chrisfield from Beat Magazine said "Mercurial intersperses soul-searching ballads with electropop bangers for dancing the hurt away." Chrisfiend ended the review saying, "her vocals are perennially flawless and, throughout the deeply personal Mercurial, Pavey embraces vulnerability as a superpower."
Zoë Radas form Stack Magazine said "Mercurial has been crafted with the stage in mind; it's changeable and volatile like its namesake, full of thick bass and synths, and imbued with an urgent spirit."
