Parallel Universe
When we dance and the night never ends
Wild and free can we meet again
PARALLEL UNIVERSE | OUT NOW
Inspired by fellow Australian juggernauts RÜFÜS DU SOL and their worldwide hit ‘Inner Bloom’, make-believe, timing, and freedom & exhilaration within small pockets of euphoria. Built on pulsing beats, cinematic synths, and dreamy vocals, Parallel Universe captures the longing for something just out of reach, in another world, possible perhaps only in another reality.
Holly teams up again with Liam Quinn, this time for their first original co-write and production, a melodic, romantic, outdoor dance music festival sing-a-long track made for steamy sunsets.
Slower than her usual club thumpers, this song sits at a tempo of 120BPM. A nod to ‘Inner Bloom’, drawing from its emotional architecture and slow-burn intensity, while carving a deeper, grittier path — driven by heavier beats, rawer textures, and a spirit of restless defiance unique to Natasja’s sound. Quinn felt this song lent itself to a soft, drawn out vocal a la Robyn which spawned a softer direction musically for Holly reminiscent of mainstream dance festival sounds.
“The drop is a direct reference to the drop in ‘Inner Bloom’. The mixing and mastering, the expansive airy feeling of the vocals, influenced by one of my all-time favourite dance tracks. What I love most about that song, and band, is their refusal to give into 2 minute viral Tik Tok formats, instead, artistic long-form dance songs that take you on a journey, in this case.. to a Parallel Universe".
On the cards and on theme for the track and its otherworldly themes, an AI music video collab in short form is in the works for the song,
“I struggle with the idea of AI a little. I love technology, what is possible, even for me now, editing a lot of my own work, but we need to be careful with where this is headed. We are trusting on a massive scale. Why wouldn’t we want to get our own hands dirty? Use our own minds more? And, important to artists, blurring lines when it comes to IP. I hope it buys us more time in all the right ways. We are currently being trained to co-exist with more machines. I feel freer, happier, more connected, smarter and on song out in nature and with people.”
EURO SUMMER PROMO TRAIL
Currently on the road pursuing live performances across Ibiza, Europe, and the festival circuit overseas, Holly says the track is the foundation of her expansion into the European electronic music scene, showcasing the single earlier this week in London
This latest work and its futuristic aesthetics showcases a distinct artistic identity — one that sits comfortably alongside acts like RÜFÜS DU SOL, and icons like Madonna, Kylie Minogue, M.I.A., and The Prodigy, yet stands entirely on its own.
“The dream would be for RÜFÜS DU SOL/James Hunt to do a remix of Parallel Universe”.
