MARIE DAHLSTROM I DON'T WANNA WAKE UP

In case that you didn’t get the not-so-subtle message already, we love Marie Dahlstrom. Ever since we heard the groove-laden goodness of ‘Like Sand’, we’ve been eagerly waiting  for her debut album of the same name. With just a few short days until the record appears, this London-based Dane has dropped a treat for us. Featuring the emotive appearance of James Vickery’s soulful croon, ‘I Don’t Wanna Wake Up’ is a cool slice of slow-burning jazz where soft synth lines and airy woodwinds sink into that cushiony rhythm section. Produced by Dahlstrom, her impressive RnB vocal also leap off this laidback recording, which mirrors the dreamy comfort of sleepstate, whether that be metaphorical or literal. One thing that you shouldn’t sleep on is the release of Marie Dahlstrom's debut album, Like Sand, is this Friday, May 22nd via JFH Records. - Hannah Thacker
