Two brand new tracks by The Courettes on PINK coloured vinyl. Both tracks will also feature on the band's next album, The Soul Of The Fabulous Courettes, in slightly different form! We worked with Richard Gottehrer, who for us is like a songwriter god! says Flavia. He worked at the Brill Building and co-wrote 'I Want Candy'. A mutual friend played him 'Keep Dancing' and he left a message on my phone saying, 'I love your track and I really dig the lyrics'. He ended up mixing 'Keep Dancing' and 'Boom Boom Boom´. Because I'm the one most responsible for the lyrics, I actually allowed myself to open up to some personal things, admits Flavia. We lost both of our fathers. My father died of COVID. But my relationship with my father was non-existent. He abandoned me and my sister. It was a very difficult relationship and it's not so easy for me to talk about it. 'Keep Dancing' is about his death and how he still has a power over me and bringing me down and what it's like to break free from that. You know, some parents are cruel. It's a special subject to sing about and to make pop music out of, says Martin. It's actually celebrating moving on and I think that's really fantastic. 'Keep Dancing' is absolutely smashing. Life is so fragile, smiles Flavia. But what are you supposed to do? I'd rather dance.
