Dead Chic drop reimagined version of ‘Pain Love Joy’ from deluxe edition of ‘Serenades & Damnation’
With their 2024 debut album, ‘Serenades & Damnation’, DEAD CHIC delivered a record that was dense, visceral, and instantly distinctive. From the very first notes, the atmosphere was unmistakable: cinematic crescendos, vast open landscapes, sultry tension, grit, and refined elegance. Unmistakably dark and chic.
The Deluxe Edition of the album now extends this immersive and intense journey, offering a compelling second chapter to the album. It brings to light previously unreleased tracks recorded during the original sessions at Black Box Studio; ‘Fire’, ‘The Bells and the Fists’, and ‘It Takes a Long Road’. Some of these songs were honed on stage over time, others emerged more recently, but together they reveal a sometimes rawer, denser edge of the band’s sound, always infused with the cinematic scope that defines DEAD CHIC’s signature identity.
This expanded edition also features three reimagined versions drawn from a stripped-back, almost acoustic live session — ‘Pain Love Joy’, ‘Hedonista’, and ‘Paris’. Performed in an intimate setting with subdued lighting and a live audience, the band revisits its repertoire through a more minimalist and introspective lens. The session captures the immediacy of live performance, the delicate balance between restraint and abandon, and the unmistakable adrenaline of performing without a safety net.
With ‘Serenades & Damnation – Deluxe Edition’, DEAD CHIC does more than add new material. The band deepens its narrative, explores the edges of its sound, and reaffirms a coherent, uncompromising artistic vision ; free, embodied, and fully realized.
DEAD CHIC have also announced a UK tour to support the deluxe edition for June 2026. For tickets and info visit : https://linktr.ee/deadchic
The danceable new track delivers a feel-good message about leaving negativity behind and embracing life to the fullest.
DiDi Musiqq is back with her latest single, “Get Up,” an energetic Afrobeats track that encourages listeners to stop dwelling on life’s challenges, leave sorrow behind and make the most of every moment.
Built around infectious rhythms and an uplifting message, “Get Up” transforms life’s difficulties into a reason to keep moving forward. Inspired by the familiar idea that life can sometimes hand us lemons, DiDi Musiqq chooses to turn those lemons into sweet lemonade—and invites everyone else to do the same.
With its danceable Afrobeats sound, “Get Up” is more than a song to move to. It is a reminder to embrace positive energy, pursue what makes you happy and live without allowing negativity to hold you back.
“Life is too short, and instead of focusing on the negatives, I’m focused on the positive vibes, which is exactly what this song is talking about,” says DiDi Musiqq. “Experiencing life to the fullest—whether it’s going to a party, love, or whatever it is your heart desires. Get up and go for it.”
The new single encourages listeners to make a choice: get up, keep going and enjoy the life in front of them. Whether the perfect soundtrack is playing at a party, during a night out with someone special or simply while starting a new day, “Get Up” delivers a message of optimism and forward movement.
With “Get Up,” DiDi Musiqq continues to bring her unique energy and positive outlook to her music, creating a track designed to get listeners moving while reminding them that even after difficult moments, there is always a reason to get back up.
