(29th October, 2021) –– Danish singer and producer Marie Dahlstrom today releases her new EP 'Safe Place' via her own label JFH Records.
The new EP follows her critically acclaimed debut album Like Sand released in May 2020, and her collaborative EP ‘4inARow’ with London-based producer Dan Diggas and Canadian rapper Aligo, released in January 2021.
'Safe Place' is a stunning 5 track EP moving from soul to R&B with incomparable ease. Written during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 whilst Marie was pregnant with her son, it follows her journey as she temporarily moved back to Denmark, finding time to appreciate the world around her and reflecting on the things that matter most to her and her family.
The EP includes its lead single "He Is", penned for her son before he was born – the track is a breathtaking R&B-tinged lullaby, uniting soft keys with a stunning string section (courtesy of friend and collaborator Sipprell).
Regular collaborator Dan Diggas also features on the project, with his contribution on "Need You, Pt. 2" – a soothing, groove-laden cut, fusing elements of R&B and hip-hop, also featuring the talents of Philadelphia rapper Dayne Jordan.
It's title track, '"Safe Place" - a sweetly personal soulful R&B cut, hints at the importance of appreciating the people we love most, bring forward spiralling electronics, delicate keys, and R&B-flecked percussion.
Commenting on the 'Safe Place' EP, Marie added: “I wrote this EP during lock down. This was a special time in my life, where everything shifted in a way. I was moving out of my apartment in London, the only place I'd ever lived since I moved. There were no gigs or concerts, society was (and still is) in a strange place, and then there was coronavirus and my pregnancy. It gave me a lot of time to reflect about what really matters and just how lucky we are to be living and experiencing this life.”
Previously supported and praised by the likes of Billboard, NPR, The Line Of Best Fit, NYLON, Complex and Wonderland Magazine, along with substantial radio airplay from BBC 1Xtra DJ’s Jamz Supernova, DJ Target, Toddla T and Rinse FM’s Jyoty, Marie is one of the most exciting voices in contemporary R&B.
Marie Dahlstrom’s new EP ‘Safe Place’ is out now, released today - Friday October 29th via JFH Records.
Marie Dahlstrom will play a sold out headline show at London’s Camden Assembly on November 19th. |
