Marie Dahlstrom Announces "4inARow" EP With Aligo and Dan Diggas, and Shares New Single "Fall Down"
Danish singer and producer Marie Dahlstrom, London-based producer Dan Diggas and Canadian rapper Aligo announce a new EP together entitled '4inARow', out January 15th 2021 via Marie's JFH Records label. Alongside the EP’s announcement, the trio are releasing the EP's lead single "Fall Down".
Originally conceived as an idea to create a four-track EP in just 4 nights, '4inARow' in essence was an experiment in writing, recording and producing purely on impulse. Each track was recorded between 8pm & midnight on those 4 days in January 2020; with each cut having its own story to tell. Dan Diggas provided the beats for the EP, with Marie Dahlstrom and Aligo sharing vocal responsibilities across the 4 tracks.
Speaking on the process, Aligo said: "Marie and I lived in the JFH flat for a little over a year and after a few months we figured out a way for us to really tap in and make music together. We told ourselves every night for 4 straight days we are going to tackle a pack of beats that Dan made while he was on tour with Mahalia. Theme-wise there wasn't a plan at first but we knew we wanted to explore different emotions and feelings with each night that passed. By the end we noticed the songs came together in a cohesive way that demonstrated a four stage cycle of love/relationships."
Lead single "Fall Down" represents the point in a relationship where a couple's resolve is being tested. A delicate blend of hip hop, soul and R&B; soothing late-night R&B-flavoured production provides a luxurious base for Dahlstrom and Aligo's considered vocal interplay.
Marie Dahlstrom went on to say: "'Fall Down' is an ode to arguments that can be common at times, but left untreated could ruin a relationship. Like autumn, this song is a transition period to a colder and more challenging part of the year and symbolic of the changes that can occur when this happens in relationships: 'consequences get the best of you'".
'4inARow' follows Marie Dahlstrom's critically acclaimed debut album Like Sand released in May earlier this year, and arrives hot on the heels of standalone single "Good Thing", released in October – all released via Marie's own label JFH Records - named after the block of flats where Marie, Dan and Aligo all live together.
Previously supported and praised by the likes of Billboard, NPR, The Line Of Best Fit, NYLON, Complex, and Wonderland Magazine, along with substantial radio airplay from BBC 1Xtra DJ’s Jamz Supernova, DJ Target, Toddla T and Rinse FM’s Jyoty, Marie is one of the most exciting voices in contemporary R&B right now.
