Her Songs release stunning new single 'If We Try' FFO Poppy Ajudha x Celeste

Her songs are a collective that owe their origins to a conversation started between the five women on social media. The group released their debut EP ‘Los Angeles’ in 2018, creating a mesmeric collection of songs that fused 90s indebted R&B with contemporary production. Now, the group have returned with their new single ‘If We Try’, the first from their new EP ‘Toronto Vol.1’.

‘If We Try’ is a clear step forward for the group, fusing their lush harmonies with a rolling groove that recalls the downtempo details of Erykah Badu, Bonobo, and Quantic. The song was written by members Emmavie and Marie Dahlstrom and inspired by their mutual love of soul and R&B.

On the track Danish-London residing member, Marie Dahlstrom says, ´If
 We Try’ is about asking the person you love for a second chance. Sometimes people are quick to break relationships off when things get rough but this song is about finding strength in vulnerability. We live in a world of instant gratification and relationships can often feel replaceable. We wanted to change the narrative: you get so much more when you try.’

‘If We Try’ is the first snapshot of the groups forthcoming EP ‘Toronto Vol 1.’ an EP bursting with bold ideas and fresh sounds. It is the result of collaboration between widespread backgrounds, cultures, and musical identities with one ambitious goal: writing and producing 4 songs in 4 days. The EP moves from sun-kissed R&B to heartfelt ballads, showing the considerable range of the remarkable group.

Her Songs is comprised of Emmavie (UK), Emily C Browning (New Zealand), The Naked Eye (UK/France), Marie Dahlstrøm (Denmark) and Dani Murcia (US/Colombia). Stay tuned for more news.
