Danish, London based singer and producer Marie Dahlstrom has released the video for new single "Clouds", directed by Lennon Gregory (Poppy Ajudha, Sasha Keable). The new single features vocals from MiC LOWRY's Delleile Ankrah, was produced by Dan Diggas (Mahalia, Central Cee, M Huncho) and is the first taste of her second full length album expected for release later this year - the follow up to her widely acclaimed debut Like Sand.
Widely known for her irresistible R&B-flecked neo soul, new single "Clouds" bursts with positive affirmations: "I keep telling myself / every day I wake up in the morning - I got it", as Marie and Delleile share verses across the track before uniting on its soaring chorus. Showcasing their respective transfixing vocal prowess, the pair muse on losing yourself - but taking the necessary steps to change things and move forward.
Of the new track, Delleile and Marie discussed its origins and lyrical inspiration:
Delleile: "This song is about when you’ve lost your path in life and you find it again. You get on the right path and you know you’re doing the right thing, the energy is good. That instinct and natural feeling. This song is crazy to me. Marie repping with the craziest vocals. So excited for this to come out and for everyone to hear her new album..."
Marie: "Yes, it’s about feeling lost, but taking 5 mins to get back on your feet and overcome whatever is in front of you. To face the fear or obstacle. It’s about moving forward. Working with Delleile on this, was so natural and honest. It was an evening during the last part of the pandemic, and everything just came together so smooth and organically, with Dan Diggas on the production. We were all in the same room just catching that moment of creativity, and a few hours later, Clouds was basically what you hear on the record."
Consistently proving she is one of the most essential voices in contemporary R&B, Marie Dahlstrom is supported and praised widely at press by the likes of Billboard, NPR, The Line Of Best Fit, Mixtape Madness, NYLON, Complex, Wonderland Magazine and more, as well as being listed as a 'Sleeper Pick' by Joe Budden (twice) on The Joe Budden Podcast (the most influential podcast in R&B and hip-hop globally). Marie Dahlstrom has also received substantial radio airplay from BBC 1Xtra DJ’s Jamz Supernova, DJ Target, Toddla T and Rinse FM’s Jyoty.
