Debut EP ‘Ultraviolet’ received unanimous praise from critics with features such as Billboard’s 10 Pop Stars To Watch In 2017, and VEVO’s Ones To Watch 2017. Among her many achievements, Dagny also co-wrote Katy Perry’s recent single ‘Never Really Over’ – racking an impressive 300 million streams on Spotify alone – again confirming Dagny’s undeniable talent as a songwriter.’Somebody’ is the second track to be lifted from her upcoming debut album. Today Dagny has also announced that her long-awaited debut will be split into two parts, with the first 6 tracks ‘Side A’ available for streaming on May 22nd and the full album (Side B) to arrive in September later this year.
‘Somebody’ is a sparkling refreshing guzzle of pop. The dance-floor coaxing rhythm and elevating soundscapes rush with Dagny’s pearly radiant musicianship. The track flows with grace and a bubbly lightness. Shimmering synths ooze cool, sun kissed vibes. The pulsing beat lays down the spongy exhilarating foundation while Dagny’s clear smooth vocals drift sweetly over the melty infectious melody. Saturated in gripping, light, synth pop euphoria with an 80’s sheen ‘Somebody’ is a groove infested catchy bop sure to charm its way into your head. Dagny has created another intoxicating pop track that exudes passion and heart racing emotion.
A song written with a goal of conveying the ultimate “in-love” experience, Dagny explains “It’s the all-consuming and exciting feeling when everything is still new. I’ve been lucky to experience it. I find that when I’m in love I feel everything ten times more than usual. With ‘Somebody’ for me it’s not just the lyrics but the whole vibe of the song that represents that: when I listen to it I get a lot of positive energy and I just wanna throw myself into something new and exciting.”
