“’Dorothy’ is a song about mourning the loss of someone close to you and how it can feel like they never really leave you… even in death,” says The Nightmares’ vocalist and guitarist Adam Parslow of the band’s second single.

‘Dorothy’ follows the band’s first ever single, the synth-led, pulsating love song ‘Adore’, and is another taster of what’s to come with their self-titled debut EP, set for release April 12 via Pretty Hate Records.

The EP will have a limited physical release on cassette format (Numbered to 100), as well as being available digitally. The sombre undercurrent in The Nightmares’ debut collection of tracks makes it a compelling listen, harking back to the perfect pop stylings of Joy Division and New Order, whilst also introducing the band as an exciting prospect in the modern music landscape.

Swedish singer Luana Kiara has released her debut single, ‘Trigger’. The song sees Luana tear out of the blocks with her sharp lyrical tongue and sassy attitude as she addresses life’s daily struggles within the dark R&B roller. The song has been created alongside the platinum selling and Grammy-nominated producers Christian Nilsson and Mårten Fohlin.

Luana has been speaking about her background and the importance for women to stand up for themselves in the moving film. It also gives a sneak preview of the forthcoming ‘Trigger’ video due to follow shortly. This follows Luana’s collaboration with the Scandinavian production and DJ duo Tungevaag & Raaban, where she was a featured vocalist on their smash hit ‘Bad Boy’, which was released last year and has clocked up over 12 million streams on Spotify.

Now stepping to the forefront with her debut single ‘Trigger’, Luana Kiara is already proving herself to be an important name on the Swedish music scene. She is a strong female figurehead and set to take the world by storm.
