Ellie Dixon Shares Infectious New Single ‘Dopamine’
The new track is taken from the star’s upcoming new EP ‘In Case of Emergency,’ out on June 16 via Decca.
Alt-pop wonder Ellie Dixon has shared her brand new single “Dopamine,” after debuting it live last week on BBC Radio 1 for a Maida Vale Session.
Taken from her upcoming new EP ‘In Case of Emergency’, out on June 16 via Decca, “Dopamine” is described as “a warm and addictive” track, though it’s tinted with melancholy and seeks a sense of peace. You can check it out below.
In a statement, Dixon says “Dopamine’ is a moment of peace for anyone feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. I was inspired to write it after reading an article about our brains getting desensitized by too much dopamine from social media. Even positive experiences need balancing by calm and I have found myself craving stillness. I hope it can help more people to take some time to rebalance and step out of the constant stimulation in the world around us.”
Ellie Dixon has already garnered considerably critical success, having been featured in The i ‘Artists To Watch in 2023’ and Dork’s HYPE List 2023 among others. In concert, she has also opened shows for UK Eurovision hero Sam Ryder..
Continuing on her road to success, Dixon’s latest single “Big Lizard Energy” stayed in the path of her single with Decca, “Swing!” and was, again, immediately hailed by fans and music tastemakers. The track was BBC Radio 1’s Tune of the Week for Vick & Jordan and BBC Radio 1’s Future Pop Session ‘Future Bop’ as well as Jo Whiley’s Tune of the Week on BBC Radio 2 and played by Clara Amfo on her BBC Radio 1’s Future Sound show.
Due to high demand, the Cambridge-born singer’s tour ‘In Case of Emergency’ will now start in September, as the singer-songwriter is upgrading her London’s Lafayette show to the O2 Academy Islington, alongside her German shows. She will also play in Glasgow following her incredible adventure which recently led her to perform in Celtic Park in front of 60,000 football fans.
