“Sunflower, Are You There?” Dizzy Ft: Kevin Garrett

Dizzy, recently released their new single “Sunflower, Are You There?” the track features Kevin Garrett, and is the second single off their collaborations EP titled Separate Places. The album will be available by Royal Mountain/Communion Records on June 11th, 2021.

The EP features re-works of tracks from their 2020 full-length The Sun and Her Scorch. Each track features a different guest artist: “Sunflower, Are You There?” is a reworking of the album’s lead single “Sunflower”, featuring musician Kevin Garrett, known for his work on Beyoncé’s Lemonade.

On the collaboration, vocalist Katie Munshaw explains, “We opened up for Kevin back before we had released any music as a band. I remember looking up to him as someone our age touring, writing perfect songs and just doing the damn thing so well. Having his seal of approval on “Sunflower”, a song about self-doubt, felt very full circle.”

Unable to tour the record due to the pandemic, Dizzy returned to the studio, bubbling with a fervent creative energy and drive to make the most of a bad situation. “The Separate Places EP has allowed songs from The Sun and Her Scorch to go on tour without us,” Katie explains. “Following some of our favourite artists around the globe from Birmingham, London, New York and back to Toronto, each song has been reimagined. “Primrose Hill’” is now fiery and tough. “The Magician” and “Ten” returned to a state of naive, solemn bliss. “Beatrice” gains solace with felt piano and harmony and “Sunflower” sounds like something out of a Super Mario Brothers video game. It’s kind of a ride.”

Each track draws inspiration from Dizzy’s chosen collaborators, breathing new life into an already stellar collection of music, enriched by the excitement of artistic synergy in a time when collaboration hasn’t always seemed possible. It’s a celebration of the new ways we have found to be together, even though we’re all in separate places.
