Maybe English people are quite used to it, but for us foreigners, it always amazes us when we see the incredible amount of talented artists who come from Brighton. To be honest, if you're not too familiar with Brighton, it's a bit like a British Nashville. An anthill filled with talented musicians. We can't talk about Brighton without winking at Dessie Magee, one of our most promising artists.
But let's stop for a few moments on After Arden, a trio made up of Florian, Jessica, and Hedda, respectively from Germany, France, and Norway. An atypical trio like Raynes (a transatlantic trio), and they come to see us today with their new single "We Are On Fire".
What seduced us about After Arden is that there is not really a leader or a main singer. All participate actively in the song. Initially, these three weren't supposed to work together, but it was their common mentor, a certain Pete Smith (Duran Duran, The Police, Sting, Stevie Wonder ...) who brought them together. And what a great idea he had!
The alchemy is perfect, and we find this spirit of camaraderie on this debut single. Yes, you read that correctly: debut single. Amazing, isn't it? Because this track sounds very professional, and there is no place for "roughly". Everything is perfectly well worked! As your grandmother would polish her favorite mirror to sell it at the flea market After Arden polished this debut single with care. The big difference is that, unlike your grandmother, they will be able to cross borders and have a great career. Believe us, there is enormous potential here. A few years ago, we weren't wrong about Freya Ridings, remember. We strongly believe in After Arden.

Lyrics
When we’re together
We act like we’re out of our minds
There’s no rhyme or reason
We’re pushing boundaries and crossing lines
Nobody to stop us
Don’t need one to understand
How rain is our dancefloor
And our wish is our command
Ripping sheets until sundown
Skinny dipping at midnight
The city dies down
There’s no one around
We’re high on serotonin
Drugs to keep us going
We’re never coming down
Cause we are on fire
Roaming free and out of our minds
Only getting higher
Nothing can stop or slow us down
Even when the sun comes up again
We’re dancing like the night never has to end
Cause we are on fire
Roaming free and out of our minds
Live in the moment
Don’t pull back in fear
Our passions are unspoken
But tonight we’ll let them appear
Ripping sheets until sundown
Skinny dipping at midnight
The city dies down
There’s no one around
We’re high on serotonin
Drugs to keep us going
We’re never coming down
Cause we are on fire
Roaming free and out of our minds
Only getting higher
Nothing can stop or slow us down
Even when the sun comes up again
We’re dancing like the night never has to end
Cause we are on fire
Roaming free and out of our minds
We’re up all night
We’re up all night
We’re up all night
We’re up all night
We’re up all night
We’re up all night
Cause we are on fire
Roaming free and out of our minds
Only getting higher
Nothing can stop or slow us down
Even when the sun comes up again
We’re dancing like the night never has to end
Cause we are on fire
Roaming free and out of our minds
Ripping sheets until sundown
Skinny dipping at midnight
The city dies down
Cause we are on fire
Roaming free and out of our minds
Our of our minds
