On the heels of 2012’s acclaimed full-length Bodyparts which landed them a captivating performance on Good Morning America as well as collaborations with Kaskade, Galantis, Big Data, Martin Solveig among others, Canadian electro-pop trio Dragonette are releasing their fourth studio album Royal Blues available now.
Strapped with a joyous energy yet tinged with melancholy undertones, Royal Blues comes in hot after a series of recent premieres. Following the Blackbook feature of futuristic single “Darth Vader”, the upbeat title track “Royal Blues`” premiered via Northern Transmissions last week. This week, album cut “Detonate” was showcased via Discobelle and Impose dropped the vibrant “High Five”, providing optimal runway for the airy, foot-tapping Royal Blues.
To celebrate the release of Royal Blues, the band has embarked on a North American tour making stops in Brooklyn, Boston, LA, Chicago, Toronto and more. Be sure to catch the powerhouse pop trio live in a city near you. For ticket information: http://www.dragonetteonline.com/tour/
