SINGLE: You Don’t Want to Dance With Me (feat. Britt Love)

RELEASE DATE: 24th October 2011

LABEL: 100% Records

“…they are all that good pop should be” The Times

“Duo make claim on synth-pop crown” Uncut ****

“A colourful, electro-tinged pop explosion” RWD

Monarchy return with another synth-pop gem, ‘You Don’t Want To Dance With Me’, due for release in October. After the undeniably catchy summer single ‘Maybe I’m Crazy’, that received radio support from Radio 1, XFM and Capital, the duo slow things down with the irresistible ‘YDWTDWM’, featuring guest vocals from Britt Love. The song’s pulsating bass line and hypnotic, layered synths provide the perfect backdrop to showcase Britt’s sultry sound as she duets with Monarchy’s Ra Black.

Britt first came to attention as one half of the Xenomania produced Mini Viva in 2009, when their debut single ‘I Left My Heart in Tokyo’ graced the Top 10 for 4 weeks. The pair split to pursue their own musical paths with Britt working hard on her solo material, due for release next year. She performed with Monarchy at this year’s Lovebox festival.

Riding on the success of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Around The Sun’ and with this killer single (completely new and re-worked) set to do the business, Monarchy’s year looks like closing on a high.

Monarchy have unveiled the official video for ‘You Don’t Want to Dance With Me’, their new single featuring Britt Love:
