The Courettes “Keep Dancing” On New Single & Video
A rock ’n roll sensation from the word go, Danish/Brazilian The Courettes are back with their fourth full length, The Soul Of The Fabulous Courettes, that is due out on September 27th via Damaged Goods Records. This time, they’re bigger, wider and deeper than ever before as they add more to the blistering ramalama that’s seen them cause pandemonium across the venues, festivals and airwaves of the UK, Europe, USA and Japan. Hitting the sweet spot that straddles garage rock, girl groups, doo-wop harmonies, heartache and all points in between, here The Courettes build on the momentum of predecessor, Back In Mono, with a collection of songs that opens up their sonic scope while confronting dark, emotional matter to reveal The Soul Of The Fabulous Courettes.
Having evolved with each album release, these new recordings draw inspiration from many of the duo’s numerous idols that have only previously been hinted at. With a clear mission this time to really show their love of the Wall Of Sound and Motown, an undertaking The Courettes have achieved with great success, particularly on new single, Keep Dancing, which resonates with that iconic sixties sound. That said, the tracks breezy sunshine pop masks a darker under current in the song’s lyrics. The duo are set to bring joy and rock n ’roll celebration to stages across the UK in September and October. Miss them at your peril.
“Because I’m the one most responsible for the lyrics, I actually allowed myself to open up to some personal things. And so that means that our souls are in the album both musically and also lyrically. We lost both of our fathers. My father died of COVID. But my relationship with my father was non-existent. He abandoned me and my sister. It was a very difficult relationship and it’s not so easy for me to talk about it. ‘Keep Dancing’ is about his death and how he still has a power over me and bringing me down and what it’s like to break free from that. You know, some parents are cruel.” (singer and guitarist Flavia)
