Dutch electronic giants and live artists Tinlicker release their new single ‘I Started A Fire’ featuring London-based producer Hero Baldwin, out now on Remember The Future/[PIAS]. The duo’s ability to connect emotionally with their collaborators as well as their audiences, beautifully showcased on their acclaimed last album ‘Cold Enough For Snow’, has made them a creative force.
Their signature sound weaves melodic elements with soulful vocals, evocative lyrics, heart-felt indie guitar and orchestral strands into danceable as well as listenable music. As well as their peerless catalogue of releases, Tinlicker have produced successful remixes for alt-J, deadmau5, Kosheen. With support from the likes of Billboard, DJ Mag, BBC Radio 1, SiriusXM they continue to re-define electronic music.
The yearning, sweet vocal begins its clear and heart-stirring singing of the emotional lyrics supported by evocative piano chord pairs, before the beat and lively percussion provide a contrast and danceability and sustained, horn-like chords supply background melody to the song.

This song is about the loss of trust and love, about someone who stands by andwatches you fall apart just to protect their own pride. Working with Jordi and Micha, they seem topull something out of me that resonates with my emotional landscape every time we make a song. Ithink it’s so important to feel creatively and emotionally secure and Jordi and Micha always affordme that privilege
