TigerSwan are back with “Young/Wild/Reckless”.
“Young/Wild/Reckless” is the second single from TigerSwan in 2019, and the follow up to their last single “Novocaine” that gathered a lot of radio play in Denmark as well as playlists and streams on Spotify. It’s easy to hear the ambitions of TigerSwan through their productions; “Young/Wild/Reckless” is a groovy and energetic pop song, just served in time for the summer heat.
The song takes you back to the time adolescence and all the temptations it contains and what is followed by that: love/seduction, the doubt, and the heart ache. The song also raises questions we’ve all had: when you’re dumped, do you move on, as your friends suggest? Or do you stick with what you believe in? And how do we move on when it’s over?
The trio built the song around these three parts – the verse is the love and seduction, the pre-chorus takes you through the uncertain mind of the protagonist; “Don’t care what they say, they don’t know you, I do and I want, you to be convinced that I’m the one.” And it all ends with the big question, most of us have tried, in the hooklines of the song: “How do we fix a broken heart?…… When we’re young, wild and reckless”. “We’ve all been tricked by girls and left behind without a clue.. More than just twice..! You say that you eventually learn how to handle it and get smarter as time go by – But it’s never logical, and that is exactly what makes it so exciting”, says leadsinger Andreas Neiiendam, with a smile.
“Young/Wild/Reckless” once more shows TigerSwan’s ability for setting up a melodic universe with great melodies. At the same time it reinforces the expression the last single from the rapidly up-and-coming trio expressed: It’s pop with big ambitions. The group are a fast-rising trio based in Copenhagen, Denmark, who in just a year and a half, has guested Japan, USA, several Danish festivals, had music on one of the biggest TV stations in Denmark (TV2), during The World Cup in Football and Handball, and has now reached 500,000 streams on Spotify, as well as a worldwide deal with Knightvision Records.
The ambitions are big and the barrier is set high, since the trio also have international ambitions with this project. Their sound might make you wonder of artists such as Justin Bieber, OneRepublic or Justin Timberlake, but TIGERSWAN never deviates from adding their own flavour to the music. Though the project circles around artists like the ones just mentioned, the songs are filled with synthesizeres, funky guitars, gospel choirs and/or dance inspired drops – and everything is handed to you with the trio’s strong set of ears and ideas for when and how a good hookline is delivered.
TigerSwan have known each other since childhood, where the ran the same streets in a small suburb, with dreams of something bigger. A Christmas party did the trick of bringing them together, and a couple of days later, they sat working on their own ideas. Pretty quickly in the process, they decided to go to USA and test their material – it was a starry-eyed idea, but if there’s something that characterizes TigerSwan, it is their belief in what they do, their work ethics and the joy of doing things differently in search of an adventure. 16 days were booked, a mini van, a couple of close friends and as many gigs as possible. And that’s how L.A., Las Vegas and San Francisco became test subjects of the first songs that came from hands of the hopeful trio. Amongst many things, the trio got to play the legendary Whisky A Go Go, and started working with the musician Ben Carey, who had been playing in Savage Garden and Lifehouse.
Since then Las Vegas has been like their ‘home away from home’, where they’ve written songs, recorded demos in million dollar studios, testet the music in bars and clubs, as well as playing street corners along the West Coast of America, just to get the unfiltered experience of people listening to their music. “The trips to USA and Japan has taught us a lot. To stand in front of a completely unfamiliar crown, who has no expectations at all, is incredible. You just HAVE to deliver your music as well as you can, right there. It doesn’t matter if it’s a stage, a street corner or a busstop – We’ve learned to enjoy it just as much as a concert, fully amped, in front of your own crowd. Being away from your home turf is a special feeling for us” – Andreas (leadsinger).
