Press Release: lottie - Dance With You (ep)

British singer, songwriter and producer lottie has recently released her EP, ‘Dance With You'. Her first EP, it includes previously released singles How Does It Feel?, Nervous and Chloe. It also includes one new track - Dance With You. Signed to Flipside Productions, lottie’s lyrics are related to her experiences as an LGBTQ+ artist and are voiced from a lesbian perspective. Her smooth and feminine vocals are seamlessly combined with the producing expertise of renowned Iranian producer Hangi Tavakoli.
​
​lottie studied English and Creative Writing at Royal Holloway, University of London, and her love for literature and poetry clearly comes through in her carefully crafted lyrics. She is a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and this is clear within her lyrics. "When I came out, I was desperately searching for music that I could relate to - it’s my goal to make music that normalizes women singing about women,” she explained.

Usually based in the UK, lottie has spent the past few years travelling and is currently based in Singapore where she met Hangi Tavakoli and began her journey as an artist. 

Title track ‘Dance With You’ brings a new emotional rawness to lottie’s catalogue. A simple, piano focussed track, it’s a romantic song that explores themes of love and devotion. “I wrote Dance With You after a bunch of friends cancelled on a party my partner and I were throwing. I realised in that moment that I really didn’t care - all that mattered to me was spending time with the person I love,’ lottie explained. Sapphic love and simple, raw emotion are at the heart of this track. 
 
How Does It Feel? was inspired by Sappho’s Fragment 31, drawing on the theme of forbidden love and jealousy. The song has a melancholic feel, with lingering verses that build to a powerful chorus.The lyrics centre on the overwhelming emotions that come with unrequited love - doubt, denial, hope and hopelessness. 

Nervous is the upbeat, playful track of the EP. It focuses on themes of love and lust, exploring the late night interaction of two people as they meet for the first time. The song emits a nighttime feel, mysterious and elusive, drawing on the complicated emotions of love at first sight. 
 
Finally, Chloe brings a bubblegum pop conclusion to ‘Dance With You’. One of the first songs lottie ever wrote, and her debut single, it provides a simple, catchy beat, lyrically exploring the idea of looking back on a problematic relationship after it has ended. Chloe saw success in the Q32 LGBT chart, debuting at number 5 and remaining there for multiple weeks. 
 
lottie, together with Hangi Tavakoli, is currently working on her debut album which will be released later this year.
