Over the course of the past few years, Denmark has unleashed a torrent of phenomenal singer-songwriters and artists on the world, but none stick out from the pack more than Soleima. Today sees the release of Soleima's new single 'Roses,' which showcases the unparalleled alternative-pop artists' unique voice and songwriting style more than ever before. Out today via Big Beat/Atlantic Records, the single treads the line of undeniable singer-songwriter wit in the lyrics and is backed by stellar laid-back production, featuring trap percussion and a whimsical, hook-laden chorus.
'Roses' is the lead single from Soleima's forthcoming debut album Powerslide, which is officially coming out on March 13th. The song was co-produced by GRAMMY-Nominated Jonny Coffer and Bastian Langebaek, and co-written with fellow UMPG writer Amanda Cygnaeus. To coincide with the release of her album, Soleima will be embarking on her first-ever US tour with labelmate Electric Guest from January 29 to February 25 (see below for tour stops)!
With one of the most distinctive voices in the alternative-pop world, 'Roses' is poised to establish Soleima as a songwriting force to be reckoned with. BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac has already called her and Artist To Watch, and her breakout single 'Low Life' from 2018 was selected as one of Billboard's '20 Great Pop Songs from 2018' along with being featured on the Spotify US Viral Chart following its release. Soleima continued her streak of critical acclaim in 2019 with Refinery29 nominating her previous single 'STFU' for Song of the Year.
Before signing with Atlantic Records, Soleima was nominated for Best New Artist at the Danish GRAMMY, and she's already drawing sonic comparisons to FKA Twigs, NAO, Lykke Li and Kali Uchis as well. With new music in the works alongside Diplo (!), and previous collaborations with like-minded artists such as Mura Masa, AlunaGeorge, Baauer, Kranium, and more, 2020 is looking mighty bright for Soleima. Stay tuned for her debut album!
