Norwegian pop sensation Dagny has shared her new single “Heartbreak In The Making,” ushering in a new era for the Tromsø born musician; the first taste of the follow up to her critically acclaimed 2020 debut album Strangers / Lovers. The new single arrives ahead of her mainstage slot at this year’s Mighty Hoopla Festival on Sunday 4th June alongside Years & Years, Jake Shears, Róisín Murphy and Confidence Man.
Highlighting her reckless streak – by her own admission – “Heartbreak In The Making” – co-written with Oliver Lundström (Carly Rae Jepsen) and Maria Hazell (Mabel, ALMA), is a slice of indie-pop perfection. “I’m giving in when I know how it ends / You feel like a heartbreak in the making” Dagny sings in the track’s chorus, as she explores the impulsive side of her personality to a backdrop of psych-tinged guitar passages, pulsating drums and soaring harmonies.
Speaking on the lyrical inspiration behind “Heartbreak In The Making,” Dagny said: “Heartbreak In The Making is essentially about diving into something, even though you have that gut feeling that it’s never going to end well. It’s a bit like the first tequila shot at a bar; you know where the night is headed, but you do it anyway.”
