piri & tommy have returned with a new single, ‘someone’, alongside news of a forthcoming EP, ‘magic!’, and a signing to Believe. The duo will also support Dope Lemon across European dates in September.
Written in the first months of their collaboration during lockdown in 2020, ‘someone’ began from a beat and hook tommy put together immediately after meeting piri. The original demo looped through piri’s late-night supermarket shifts before she added her verse. “I listened 36 times in a row”, piri says.
“Taking a step away from explicitly ‘dance’ music is so exciting for us too,” explains piri. “Exploring other areas of our musicality has been really fun and we can’t wait to share even more of the different sides to piri & tommy. We’re coming for pop.”
“Yes, we’ve been making dance music, but we’ve really just been making songs!” the duo explain. “We’ve always made whatever music we love, and this project finally gave us the space to full-send the funk. Making music together is magic, getting to live as artists is magic, and the fact that we even met (on Tinder!) is the most magical thing of all.”
