Little Dragon release new single

Little Dragon have released their new EP ‘Opening The Door’ on Ninja Tune. Available to hear for the first time as part of the release is new single “Stay”, a collaboration with respected East Atlanta rapper JID (signed with J. Cole’s Dreamville label who has previously collaborated with the likes of Joey Bada$$, A$AP Ferg, 6LACK, Ella Mai and Method Man). JID’s recent solo album “The Forever Story” has been widely acclaimed by the likes of Pitchfork, Complex, Stereogum and many more. “We found out JID was a fan of our music and so started listening to his,” explain the band. “The feeling quickly became mutual. His writing and singing is so sharp and creative we had to ask him to be on a track!” The result is a sultry track that muses on the tribulations of being in a long term relationship, “showing your vulnerability and expressing your wishes to keep dreaming and growing with that person”

The EP also features previous single “Frisco” — a bouncy minimal dance track about “renewal, letting out your full potential and moving with the wave of change and life” — and “Peace” an ethereal, rhythmic song which features the acclaimed Swedish musician Stefan Sandberg, who contributes flute to the track. Speaking about the release of the EP, Little Dragon said: “‘Opening The Door’ represents being brave and moving forward into the unknown. Endless possibilities and embracing uncertainty. We have so much new music to share, and it feels like we are finally opening the door and releasing it out from our bubble and into the universe!”
