(25 February) Danish London-based vocalist, songwriter and producer Marie Dahlstrom today shares her new single ‘Frostbite’, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the Roskilde-born musician and offering the first glimpse of a new project set to arrive later this year. Over the past few years, Dahlstrom has quietly built one of contemporary R&B’s most trusted catalogues – rooted in neo-soul, jazz and understated groove – recognised across Billboard, NPR, Complex, COLORS, NYLON, The Line Of Best Fit, Wonderland and beyond. From her 2020 debut album 'Like Sand' through to 2023’s 'A Good Life', she’s cultivated a glowing reputation, drawing praise from BBC 1Xtra tastemakers across the board and US cultural co-signs including repeated recognition on The Joe Budden Podcast, alongside collaborations with Odeal, Jay Prince, Kofi Stone and Braxton Cook, and culminating in a sold-out headline show at London’s Village Underground marking the release of her most recent album. That sustained momentum now sees her entering her most assured phase yet, starting with new single 'Frostbite', produced by Dan Diggas (Central Cee, Mahalia). Staying rooted in the soul-led intimacy that has defined her work to date, 'Frostbite' finds Dahlstrom pushing further into nuance and atmosphere. With a cooler tonal palette than her recent work, the track explores love’s mutability through immersive textures and glistening melodies, unfolding with the quiet control that has become Dahlstrom’s signature. On the release of 'Frostbite', Marie said: “‘Frostbite’ is a song about longing and about how the feeling lingers in the body. It’s drawn from many experiences in my life, all wrapped into this piece. It was recorded on my old piano at my parents’ house in Roskilde, in my childhood bedroom. We tracked it with one small mic held close to the piano — nothing pro about it at all — but the instrument has this warm, muted tone that really captured the feeling. To me, this is what music is about". With more music on the horizon, ‘Frostbite’ sets the tone for what comes next - reinforcing Dahlstrom’s place among contemporary R&B’s most distinctive voices, while hinting at a broader, deeper body of work to follow. ‘Frostbite’ is out now via JFH Records.
