New York, NY (March 24, 2023) – Earlier this week, electro-pop powerhouse Dragonette kicked off her first U.S. tour in six years, arriving in New York City tonight, for a sold-out performance at Baby’s All Right. In celebration today, Dragonette – aka songwriter/producer Martina Sorbara – has released a remix of her single “T-Shirt” by Ty Sunderland from her latest album, Twennies, released last autumn via BMG. Catch Dragonette live at remaining tour dates below. Listen + share “T-Shirt” (Ty Sunderland Remix).
Discussing Ty Sunderland’s take on “T-Shirt,” Sorbara noted, “My buddy Ty Sunderland is a crazy talented artist, DJ and producer. He has made such a party out of my sultry anti-love song, ‘T-Shirt’. If you need a beat and a drop to throw some shapes on to the dance floor, Ty’s your guy. I’m so honoured to have him splash his bright production colours onto my track.”
Ty Sunderland added, “It was such a pleasure collaborating with Dragonette on this remix! T-Shirt was already a super vibey track and I wanted to take it to a big energy fast BPM disco moment that works in my DJ sets. Can’t wait to play it on dance-floor this summer!”
On Twennies, Sorbara chose to work with one creative partner for the entire project—the Los Angeles-based producer Dan Farber (Dizzee Rascal, Lizzo). The two artists spent several weeks together holed up in Sorbara’s Toronto studio, where they wrote the majority of the record. “I’ve never concentrated on working on an album like that; just living and breathing this one thing,” she shares.
Twennies marks a full-circle moment for Sorbara. “It’s a true hybrid of my original influences as a child and what I’ve learned along the way. It feels so representative of my musical journey.” She adds, “It’s my favorite thing I’ve ever done. I’m so proud of it.”
With a career spanning over fifteen years, Dragonette has scored numerous global hits including “Pick Up the Phone,” “Let it Go,” “Tokyo Nights” with Digital Farm Animals and Shaun Frank, “Outlines” with Mike Mago, “Slow Song” with The Knocks, and the chart-topping “Hello” with Martin Solveig, which garnered a JUNO Award win for ‘Dance Recording of the Year’ and returned to the Billboard Dance Charts just last year. Collaborating with the world’s biggest DJs including Martin Garrix, Basement Jaxx, Kaskade, Galantis, and more, Dragonette’s musical diversity knows no bounds, and as a songwriter her credits include Keith Urban, Cyndi Lauper, Pretty Sister, and Carly Rae Jepsen, among others.
Creative versatility shines across Dragonette’s four acclaimed studio albums, including Galore (2007), which earned Dragonette a JUNO nomination for ‘Breakthrough Group of the Year’, the JUNO-nominated Fixin To Thrill (2009), the JUNO-nominated Bodyparts (2012), and 2016’s Royal Blues. With global headlining credits too numerous to list, Dragonette has also supported the likes of Duran Duran, New Order, Ke$ha, and Miike Snow, and amassed major festival credits, playing to thousands of fans at Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, Glastonbury, and Lollapalooza.
With Twennies Dragonette moves into the newest chapter of her illustrious career, looking forward with more wisdom, experience and confidence than ever before, and creating her best work to date.
