DRAGONETTE RELEASES NEW SINGLE “LONELY HEART”

ANNOUNCES FESTIVAL DATES

27 MAY 2016 (Toronto, ON) – Canadian electro-pop trio Dragonette returns with the airy, joyous new single “Lonely Heart.” Flipping the assumed blues of the title on its head with its swift, inexorable punch-drunk summer hook - the track pairs a reggae-tinged synth line with shout-out-loud backups and a lazy, toe-tapping beat, blasting straight into its sticky sweet centre, as Martina Sorbara repeats on the irresistible hook, “I’ve got a lonely heart, got a lonely heart.” Despite the brief downcast bridge, where Sorbara sings “late night cab rides, with a lonely heart, chest pressed upright, against a lonely heart / I got to fill it up, fill my lonely heart,” it’s clear they understand the power in taking the carefree high road during bouts of sadness. Together since 2005, the JUNO award winning band has been at the forefront of modern dance music. Collaborating with some of the most influential acts around, like Basement Jaxx, DJ Martin Solveig, Kaskade and more – they have carved out a special niche within the Canadian landscape. Dragonette Tour Dates:
June 18 — Ottawa, ON, Canada @ Glowfair Festival
June 25 — Winnipeg, MB, Canada @ Aboriginal Day Live
July 29 — Montreal, QC, Canada @ OSHEAGA Festival
August 20 — Wasaga Beach, ON, Canada @ Center of Gravity Festival Dragonette
