Scarlet Pleasure

About

Forget the polite Danish pop you think you know. Scarlet Pleasure, the Copenhagen-based trio, injects a potent cocktail of R&B, soul, and electronica into the Nordic landscape, crafting a sound that’s both intensely personal and irresistibly danceable. Rooted in their initial 2014 EP, "Mirage," the group, comprised of Emil Goll, Alexander Malone, and Joachim Dencker, quickly shed any preconceived notions, evolving a signature sound that's as slick as it is soulful. Their breakthrough came with singles like "Heat" and "Under the Palm Trees," anthems that cemented their status as purveyors of sun-drenched melancholia, resonating far beyond Danish borders. Scarlet Pleasure doesn't shy away from introspective themes; they explore the nuances of relationships and the complexities of modern life, wrapping it all in a sheen of undeniable cool. Collaboration with artists like MØ on tracks has further cemented their status within the alternative pop scene. Recent releases showcase a continued exploration of sonic textures, hinting at a willingness to push boundaries and defy expectations, confirming that Scarlet Pleasure are far from a fleeting trend – they're here to stay.
