Danish R&B songbird Marie Dahlstrøm breaks down her latest EP 'Kanel': Exclusive interview
One of R&B and soul’s brightest stars Marie Dahlstrøm dropped her brand new EP ‘Kanel’ earlier this July. Hailing from the Roskilde, Denmark (yes, the same Roskilde that hosts one of the largest music festivals in Europe), Marie has fast become known for an output of beautifully crafted Jazz flavored R&B. Drawing on influences from Nordic Jazz to traditional soul, her sharp take on the genre has won her fans across the globe.
Dahlstrøm's latest EP 'Kanel' follows her two much applauded EPs 'Nine' and 'O.O', both of which were released last year. The 'Kanel' EP, produced by JNTHN STEIN was recorded in a single week in Corsica earlier this year.
As Dahlstrøm admits, the intense, yet rewarding session meant that they could get away from any distractions and focus solely on the recording process. The effort produced five new crisp numbers that display her best work so far. Fittingly, Clash Magazine described the first single from the EP ‘Ask About Me’ as “her finest yet” last month. This was followed by the single ‘Bring Me Back’ which Kaltblut described as “a straight-up three and a half minute gem”.
