Dan D’Lion has shared his new track ‘Superwoman’, out now on Insanity Records, and a brand new mixtape, ‘When One Thing Leads To Another’, will follow this summer. Having recently performed at this year’s virtual BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend in May, the multi-talented singer, producer and songwriter continues to produce regular episodes of his creative ‘Isolation Sessions’, in which he works remotely on new music with collaborators including Oscar Scheller on top of performing his own material.

Across just two EPs to date (2019’s acclaimed ‘PERSPECTIVE’ and ‘BETTERMAN’)
Dan D’Lion has introduced himself as an unpredictable, undeniable talent. His music is equal parts light and shade, kaleidoscopic and at times claustrophobic. What it means to be man enough is right there in the name of Dan D’Lion itself, which twists the assumed strength of the lion and the supposed fragility of a flower into something new. Musically, Dan D’Lion’s eclectic, future-pop sound found its escapist origins in his hometown of Reading. Born to a jazz drummer dad and music-obsessed family in general, Dan moved to London aged twenty – initially inspired by a range of music from Stevie Wonder to Rage Against The Machine, before forming his hybrid of influences which now include the likes of Steve Lacy and Sampha.
Working multiple jobs to make ends meet, Dan D’Lion’s struggle to blend into the crowd found a cathartic outlet in early tracks like ‘Simmer Down’, which was written in response to being mugged (and a more generational sense of anger, fear, and paranoia). He has since learned to embrace the idea of standing out, something that forthcoming mixtape ‘When Thing Leads To Another’ takes into even more personal waters…
“This project is a dive into those emotions I feel in a relationship. From the first time you meet someone…the intrigue and interest…to feeling infatuated and fascinated by them. All honest relationships have their ups and downs and I’ve learnt things from every relationship and friendship which has allowed me to better myself. We all experience that whirlwind of emotions when we meet someone that truly means something to us.” For Dan D’Lion, ‘Superwoman’ kickstarts a new year, a brand new project, and a thrilling new chapter of analytical, acutely honest British pop.
