Prepare to be transported across continents and cultures as Daada, the German-Colombian songstress with Tanzanian roots, shares her enchanting new single ‘Song For You’, out now via Daada Music. This track is a delightful prelude to her upcoming EP ‘Home’, set to release on June 21, 2024.

Daada, known offstage as Maike Valentina Kusserow, effortlessly blends her multicultural heritage into her music, creating a refreshing pop sound that resonates globally. Raised in Arusha, Tanzania, and now splitting her time between East Africa and Berlin, Daada’s music is a vibrant tapestry woven with threads from Africa, Latin America, and Europe.

Since picking up her grandma’s guitar in her youth, Daada has been a storytelling force, penning multilingual songs in English, Spanish, Swahili, and German. Her unique sound is a rich blend of genres, influenced by icons like Shakira, and spans Reggaeton, Cumbia, Bongo Fleva, Amapiano, and Indie. Imagine the power of Billie Eilish, Karol G, and Ayra Starr fused into an unexpected, fresh take on Pop – that’s Daada.

‘Song For You’ is an uplifting Afropop gem that wraps listeners in warmth and nostalgia. Driven by a hypnotic beat and punctuated by sentimental guitar, Daada’s angelic vocals celebrate the unwavering support of loved ones. She describes the track as a “love letter” to her supporters, friends, and family, reflecting the gratitude she feels for their constant presence.

“I wanted ‘Song for you’ to make you think of the people in your life who have been showing up for you since day one. I hope people hear it and send it to those angels. For me, it’s a love letter to my supporters, friends and family. I am so grateful for all the love I receive and for the beautiful souls that are on this journey with me. The whole upcoming EP is for you, but this song especially.” – Daada

Mark your calendars for June 21, 2024, when Daada’s EP ‘Home’ will transport listeners on a transcultural journey. Created between Berlin, Bogota, and Nairobi, this EP promises to be a sonic exploration of identity, love, and belonging.

Five-time GRAMMY Award-winning global icon Shania Twain has announced a major run of outdoor shows across the UK and Ireland for June 2027, including headlining State Fayre, the UK’s largest music and BBQ festival, on Saturday 19 June.

The eight-date run begins at Scarborough’s Open Air Theatre on 16 June, before Shania heads to Glasgow Summer Sessions at Bellahouston Park, State Fayre Festival in Chelmsford, Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields, Live at Powderham in Exeter, Dublin’s Marlay Park, Belsonic in Belfast and finally culminating at Oxfordshire’s Blenheim Palace Festival on 29 June.

Tickets go on general sale on Friday 6 November at 9am.

The announcement follows the release of Little Miss Twain – The Places I’ll Go, the deluxe edition of Shania’s acclaimed seventh studio album, Little Miss Twain. Released this July, Little Miss Twain marked a significant and deeply personal chapter for Shania. After more than three decades as one of the most successful and influential artists in music, the global superstar turned back to the beginning, revisiting the experiences, sounds and memories that shaped her before the world knew her name.

Drawing from her childhood and teenage years growing up in Canada, the acclaimed album traces the roots of her singular sound across country, pop, rock, soul and bluegrass, offering a revealing portrait of the influences behind an artist who would go on to reshape the boundaries of country and pop music. The album also features an exceptional lineup of collaborators, including Tanya Tucker, T Bone Burnett, Ronnie Wood, Josh Homme, Ray Parker Jr., and Toto’s David Paich. With Little Miss Twain – The Places I’ll Go, Shania expands that story, offering an even deeper look at the formative experiences and musical influences behind both the artist and icon she would become.

Also recently released was the audiobook of Shania’s 2011 memoir, From This Moment On, now available with narration from Shania herself. The bestselling book traces her tumultuous rise to stardom and features a new foreword with personal reflections on her journey.

Shania’s influence remains as far-reaching as ever. In 2027, she will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Come On Over and the 25th anniversary of Up!, two era-defining albums that transformed country and pop music, broke barriers around the world and cemented her status as a global icon. With a huge run of live dates in 2027, and a biopic chronicling her life and career also in development, Shania continues to look ahead while celebrating the music and milestones that have defined her extraordinary career.
