The Courettes, the Danish-Brazilian rock duo known for their electrifying performances and distinctive sound, have announced the release of their new single, "Keep Dancing," available today. This single serves as a precursor to their highly anticipated album, "The Soul of the Fabulous Courettes," set to drop on September 27th through Damaged Goods Records.
The upcoming album is touted as their best work to date, promising a richer sonic experience that combines elements of garage rock, girl group influences, and doo-wop harmonies. "Keep Dancing" exemplifies this evolution, echoing the iconic sounds of the sixties while addressing deeper emotional themes in its lyrics. Lead vocalist and guitarist Flavia shared her personal connection to the song, revealing that it tackles her complex relationship with her late father, who passed away due to COVID-19.
Flavia stated, "The song 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." Drummer Martin elaborated on the track's celebratory tone, emphasizing its focus on moving forward despite past traumas.
