Norwegian pop star Astrid S features on the anticipated new single from acclaimed UK duo Blonde, ‘Just For One Night’, out today. The track comes just ahead of the release of Astrid S’ forthcoming ‘Party’s Over’ EP, out June 30th via Virgin/EMI.
‘Just For One Night’ has already seen an incredible response following its release today, with the track already added to Kiss FM’s playlist, and featured on BBC Radio 1’s New Music Friday today. The track has also been featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist in 14 territories, including both the UK and the US. Blonde’s Jake Manson and Adam Englefield, along with co-writer RAYE agreed that Astrid S would be the perfect fit for the track:
“I knew that Astrid would absolutely kill it,” says Jake. “She felt like the perfect fit because she’s got that Scandinavian coldness to her vocal. It’s edgy, cool and very strong, but it’s also got a vulnerability to it. All the Blonde singles have had really distinct vocals – Alex Newell, Melissa Steel, Craig David – and Astrid is the perfect continuation of that.”
Astrid S will release her sophomore EP ‘Party’s Over’ on 30th June via Virgin EMI Records. The six-track EP includes lead single ‘Breathe’, which was produced by Oscar Holter from the production team Wolf Cousins (Tove Lo, Demi Lovato, Ellie Goulding). ‘Breathe’ quickly achieved remarkable success: the track was named ‘Tune of the Week’ on BBC Radio 1’s Scott Mills Show and has recently hit over 30 million streams on Spotify alone, while the music video has recently surpassed 1 million views on YouTube.

Last year, Astrid also won the Spellemannprisen Award (Norwegian Grammy Awards) for ‘Breakthrough Artist of the Year’, was awarded ‘Best Norwegian Act’ at the MTV European Music Awards and was chosen by Popjustice as one of the acts most likely to save pop music in 2017!
