“Gentleman Blue” is the third single from Elysia Biro’s upcoming debut EP, Running From Nothing, scheduled for release April 24, 2026. The song was inspired by an experience Biro had on her birthday. “I always feel weird around my birthday," she says, "but this year, I saw this beautiful older woman dancing like she didn’t have a care in the world, and I was inspired to write a song about incredible, powerful women who've embraced getting older.” Since the release of her debut single “Just Wait A Minute” in September of 2025, Biro has already earned more than a million cumulative streams, has performed at the London Jazz Festival in England, and been recognized by the likes of The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard Canada. Her blend of modern pop form, classical piano technique, and jazz sensibilities is quickly garnering widespread attention as one to watch.
