The mighty Da Chick is back! Today sees the release of not one, but two, new singles taken from her forthcoming album ‘conversations with the beat’, a new and very special album marking a turning point in her career which starts with the important fact that it is the first record in which the artist herself takes over all of it’s production and composition, resulting in a process of self-discovery which she has been engaged in since last year. So here’s two new songs, ‘conversations’ and ‘watch me go’, out everywhere now! Welcome back Da Chick.

All of this comes off the back of a busy touring schedule and four years since her last album release with ‘Chick to Chick’ back in the summer of 2015. The intervening time saw her release the ‘Call Me Foxy EP’, also through us, to rave reviews both at home and beyond marking her most popular release to date. Last year she resurfaced with a fresh collaboration in the form of ‘Drinks Promise Better’ with Mirror People.

With her laptop, guitar, keyboards, drum machines and effects, Da Chick designed a new soundscape which explores in intuitive ways, less concerned with the traditional structure of a song, but interested in focusing on emotions and powerful messages that flow into the melodies, flowing smooth and freely. Live, the singer wants to have bass, trumpet and percussion by her side, taking on some instruments herself, trying to take us on another kind of trip. Behind the mirror ball and the dance routines, the visual exploration is conceptual and carried out in partnership with Arlindo Camacho (photography) and Constança Entrudo (textile designer).

The first sample of this new chapter is this double single, conceived in Los Angeles, during a stay that the artist had there, and was finished and produced in Lisbon, at her new home/studio. “This is me looking for freedom”, she says. The revolution, we all know, will not be on television. But it may very well be heard on our headphones.
