Riding on the success of long awaited debut album True Emotion, Stockholm based songwriter Dante returns today with new single "Champagne Problems" - a moving ode to escapism, albeit one filled with a sense of desperation.

"Tonight, I don't care. Take me away to another place, where there's no dreams to be broken", sings guest vocalist Adiam over a breezy neon flecked backdrop whilst Dante simply shrugs nonchalantly, "don't bother me tonight". The duet equalling a perfect balance of light and shade.

Indeed, it's the balance act of lightness and darkness that fuels the accompanying video starring Swedish actress Evin Ahmad who portrays a character well on the road to self destruction. Director 심연 (Simeon) explains the nature of the scenes: "We human beings search for kicks and thrills in so many ways to get along with our daily worries and restlessness." Whilst Dante simply adds: "(It's) about always seeking kicks".

Watch the highly stylised cinematic short below.

The "Champagne Problems" single comes packaged with three brand new remixes including a meditative 22 minute long reimagining by Stockholm based producer and Best Fit Recordings alumni HNNY which premieres exclusively below.
