Den Store Dansktop Box



Mette isn't your typical new artist having already toured the world for five years. Albeit as a dancer, rather than the headlining star she's destined to become, as the lead of Pharrell's dance troupe she's already well accustomed to the performing aspect of her new life. Evoking Timbaland-era hip hop and the highs of Nelly Furtado's creative peak with Loose, Petrified trades in a recent nostalgia, panning for gold in a treasure chest of influences that are virtually untouched in pop right now. The first of a promised run of singles, Petrified came together in a series of late-night studio sessions. A quadruple threat, Mette's foray into music isn't a diversion or deviation from grander ambitions in any of her other creative discipline, this is the moment she's been dreaming of for a long time. “I remember I heard a lot of “no”s when I was younger and I internalised a lot of that, she explains. I now realise I’ve been hiding this dream for so long that it’s like, okay, we need to move forward in authenticity. Music is my first love - period.” Read more on Last.fm.
