Тина Дико представляет новый сингл «Surfing» и дебютирует в Канаде с альбомом о хрупком балансе жизни

Tina Dico is introducing herself properly to Canadian audiences with "Surfing," the first single from her forthcoming new album, 'Balancing Small Things On Sharp Edges,' due October 23. The release marks a significant milestone for the Danish singer/songwriter, who has topped the Danish album charts five times and is now returning to North America through her first release on a Canadian label, DMP/Fontana North/Universal. "Surfing" finds Dico reflecting on the invisible threads that connect people to one another and to the wider world. "To me, “Surfing” is about how we're all connected," she explains. "You feel it every day in a family, where every person's mood, character, words and actions affect everyone else. But it's obviously true on a much bigger scale. What one person throws into the world ripples outward. We're one big ocean of movement, all trying to keep our balance." It's a fitting introduction to an album that Dico describes as an exploration of the fragile balance between the everyday life we want to enjoy and connect with, and an increasingly noisy world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fpdX1Vec1Q In her native Denmark, Dico is a household name. She’s played major festivals including Roskilde, was invited to perform for the Danish Crown Prince Frederik's 50th Birthday celebration, and in April sold out the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, drawing 15,000 fans for a single show. Her catalogue includes collaborations with ambient electronica duo Zero 7, a performance at Glastonbury, and a sixth album recorded at Jimi Hendrix's famed Electric Lady Studios, fulfilling a lifelong dream for an artist who has counted the guitarist among her earliest influences. Canada holds a particular significance in Dico's story. She counts Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen among her formative influences, and it was in Canada, almost two decades ago, that she first met her husband and musical partner, Helgi Jonsson, while both were performing here. That connection has only deepened since. Dico was one of the standout performers at this year's Vancouver Folk Music Festival in July, generating significant buzz, and she previously shared the stage with KT Tunstall at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival in 2024 to a stellar response.

"Releasing music today is very different from twenty years ago," Dico says. "Everything moves so fast, and there's always something new asking for people's attention. I'm not really trying to compete with that. At this point I feel like I'm simply adding to the story. New conversations and a new chapter. The songs are there for anyone who wants to spend time with them and hopefully come and spend time with us at the concerts. That's where the magic really unfolds for me!"
