Today, DAMEDAME release their debut album 'Dreams on the Passenger Seat'.

Barbara and Edith truly are marking a new genre for their music, and this album encapsulates exactly the identity the pair are seeking to create. A culmination of years spent mastering the contemporary music genre, the pair are finally stepping into the spotlight as their own team.

The pair first rose to prominence on their work on Jorja Smith's album 'Falling or Flying'. Since then, their unique and exciting approach to song production has lead them to work with many leading names in the music industry, while building a repertoire of their own alongside this.

The album's ten selected tracks are so masterfully created, blending soulful lyricism and storytelling with immense production and creative effects.

The layered instrumentation and textured soundscapes truly are a standout, marking the distinctive production style that has made DAMEDAME two of the UK's most sought after creative collaborators. The product is a genius combination of what we recognise about DAMEDAME, and a voice which is new, raw and distinctively their own.

Featuring previously released singles "FREEDOM" featuring Jorja Smith, which truly is a standout in the final product, "PROMISE" and "FIRE BURNIN' THRU THE RAIN", alongside seven new records, ‘Dreams on the Passenger Seat’ captures two artists stepping beyond their celebrated careers as producers and songwriters to tell their own story. The album truly is a must listen, full of emotion and resonance. The confidence of their production, of their unique rhythms and patterns, works seamlessly with the vulnerability they are trying to present. DAMEDAME's ambition truly paid off.
