Glasgow-based indie pop artist Zoe Graham and electronic bedroom producer Blicero share their new collaborative single ‘Stubborn Fire’, out 10th June on A Modern Way Recordings.
Written for fun with no firm release plans in mind, the pair decided the coronavirus lockdown was the perfect time to share a glint of positivity with their energetic and infectious indie-dance collaboration. Zoe Graham explains: “The track was written at the start of the year. It is the result of one of my last face-to-face songwriting sessions before lockdown, where we worked together in Luke’s tiny home studio to sculpt the song from its original shape into a finished pop structure.”
The single is accompanied by an uplifting socially-distanced video, shot on a rainy spring day across Glasgow and the surrounding suburbs. The video shows fans (and their families) dancing at home as they hear the track for the first time.
2020 has already been a busy and important year for both artists. Fresh from live dates with Kate Nash, KAWALA and Rae Morris, Zoe Graham has released two singles from her forthcoming Gradual Move EP with more music to follow in the summer months. While a packed spring of showcase festivals has been rescheduled to later dates, she has remained busy throughout the past few weeks hosting a popular weekly virtual Bingo with fans on Instagram Live.
Blicero (aka Luke Palmer) came onto the scene in 2019 with his debut release ‘Like a Bee Over Something Sweet’; a collection of ambient works released on Rural Sounds Records. This was followed by ‘Playtime’ which saw him receive rave-reviews from the likes of The Skinny magazine and BOOOOOOOM TV, and recent timely single ‘iwanttogooutside’.
“Stubborn Fire” is out on 10th June 2020 via A Modern Way Recordings.
