Dragonette Releases “Seasick” Off Upcoming New Album ‘Twennies’
ELECTRO-POP POWERHOUSE DRAGONETTE
RELEASES “SEASICK” FROM HER UPCOMING ALBUM TWENNIES
DUE OUT OCTOBER 28 VIA BMG
New York, NY (October 7, 2022) – Today, electro-pop artist Dragonette (the professional moniker for highly sought-after songwriter Martina Sorbara) drops “Seasick,” the dynamic new track from her forthcoming album Twennies, out October 28 via BMG. Twennies is Dragonette’s first full-length release since 2016’s Royal Blues, and fans have already had a taste of the new collection with the infectious power-pop anthem “New Suit,” describe as a “mash-up of retro and contemporary sounds and imagery,” and the title-track dancefloor single “Twennies.” Pre-order Twennies here.
The evolution of “Seasick” began after producer Thomas Troelsen shared the bed track with Sorbara; its lush and live sounds a refreshing departure from some of the bigger EDM dance tunes often sent her way. Coming together in bits and pieces, the track sat unfinished until a chance studio visit from Sorbara’s friend, songwriter Andy Stochansky, took it across the finish line. When creative partner and Twennies producer Dan Farber (Dizzee Rascal, Lizzo) heard the song he was unequivocal; it HAD to be on the record.
Sorbara shares, “’Seasick’ is important for me because I know it’s about some pretty dark traumatic heartbreak, which I’ve written about A LOT. But in this song I can hear things healing. There’s a light heartedness that took time (and therapy) to achieve.”
