Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Cocktail Slippers Releases New Song “I Still Dream You”
Norwegian female rock band Cocktail Slippers, consisting of Silje Hope (vocals), Sara Andersson (guitar), Stine Bendiksen (guitar), Astrid Waller (bass) and Maria Storaas (drums), released a new song “I Still Dream You” on International Women's Day (March 8).
This time, the band recorded the song with producer Steven Van Zandt at Renegade Nation studio in New York.
The track was written by Steven Van Zandt and Stine Bendiksen.
The band has been collaborating with Stevie Van Zandt for more than a decade, and it's not the first time the girls have been in the studio recording music with the famed musician.
The band guitarist Sara Andersson said of the song, “We have a close collaboration with Stevie and always send over songs before we go into the studio here in Norway as well. Then we usually spend some time bouncing ideas back and forth before we record.”- The lead singer Silje Hope continued, “This time we got feedback from Stevie that the song we had written was so good that he got inspired and ended up rewriting everything.”
The band drummer Maria Storaas added, “It was really fun recording songs in Stevie's studio in New York. Great atmosphere and a lot of hard work! We probably didn't have more than about 30 minutes breaks any of the days and worked about 16 hours both days.” -
Producer Steven Van Zandt recalled, “The Cocktail Slippers sent me a song they'd been working on for a while but couldn't quite unlock its mystery. Every song has one. I dug the sexy vibrations of it and started exploring, intending to just solve the puzzle. But sometimes songs just want to write themselves. I ended up taking it in a different direction and rewrote the whole thing. And really - not because the song wasn't good enough, you’ll hear great ones all over the album, but because the Cocktail Slippers relentlessly inspire me!”
