New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Girlie Action Media & Marketing) Dragonette have spent the last two years working on special and successful collaborations. "Fire In Your New Shoes, " their pairing with Kaskade, was a huge club hit worldwide, and one of the 4 songs they did with French DJ
Martin Solveig, "Hello," was a pop hit across the globe, going Top 10 in over 30 countries, achieving platinum status in the USA, getting synched 150 times in the process, and leading to Mr Solveig producing Madonna. Now the band turn their attention to their own material again.
"Listen If: Your favorite artists of the last few years were
Lykke Li and Ladyhawke, and you're looking to complete your holy trilogy of perfectly pouty pop."
- Rolling Stone
Preparing to release two brand new tunes this March, today sees the unveiling of Dragonette's "The Right Woman" which appears on Proud to be Woman Vol. 3, a compilation put together by
