DAME - 'Cold Water'

DAME are back and leaving the past behind them with their brilliantly catchy new single ‘Cold Water’. 

Having all met at the University of Birmingham in peculiar circumstances, from being kicked out of open mic nights to Tinder, this four-piece are really beginning to establish themselves both in the studio and also on the stage with their acclaim growing by the show. 

It has been a while since we have seen any music from this quartet, with ‘Habit’ their last single coming out in 2018. That time away seems to have done them well, with their emotional alt-pop having a new glisten to it, inspired by the likes of Pale Waves who’ve rose to prominence in that time. 

‘Cold Water’ does touch on their time away, with a cry to let go of the past and move forward with life. Acting as a “big middle finger”, the track is truly joyful in its sound and really has the elements that make you feel like you’ve heard it before but also one that you can’t get out of your head. 

It really is a welcome return for this four-piece and we can only hope that ‘Cold Water’ is the catalyst for a streak of singles from DAME that are very catchy and aren’t apologetic with their attitude. 

‘Cold Water’, the new single from DAME is available now on all major streaming platforms.
