Indie-Pop artist Cortney Dixon releases empowering new single ‘You Look Good Naked’ on 12th of Feb

Cortney Dixon is an artist, producer, songwriter and guitarist from the coastal town of South Shields in the North of England. It’s from this post industrial pasture that she propels herself as an entirely uplifting and unique force of nature. Cortney has written and produced a slick 6 track EP, titled ‘354’, which deftly blends her down to earth punky DIY roots with a well crafted aspirational pop glamour, with first single ‘You Look Good Naked’ dropping on Wednesday 12th February.

This latest self produced manifestation of her sound harnesses her experiences & inspirations, complete with moments of raw energy mixed with hedonistic highs of imagination as the soundtrack to her unfolding adventures. ‘You Look Good Naked’ couldn’t be a better introduction to this new wave of releases, written following an unplanned visit to a strip club on a week night. 

Cortney explains further:

‘I wrote this song after spending a Tuesday night in a strip club in Newcastle. Me and my best friend Sarah were out and the only place left open was the strip club, so we went to the strip club for the first time. We had always been curious about what stripping was all about and wished I had the confidence to try it, so this trip felt like research.

I got talking to one of the girls working that night. She was called Daisy and was very beautiful. She looked like a Pixie. She told me all about how much she loved her job and found it very empowering. I got a dance off Daisy. Summing up exactly how it made me feel and quoting the song ‘I can’t decide if I wanna be you, or if it’s that I really want to kiss you’. I love the idea of telling someone how amazing they look Naked. Everyone deserves to feel beautiful and desired in their own skin. ‘OMG YOU LOOK GOOD NAKED’!’

Carefully crafted, the EP out on Friday 26th September (complete with an artfully inspired limited run of vinyl records) cuts with ease through garage rock, fuzzy indie and fizzy pop with a hook filled charm and high energy verve.

“This whole EP was a very DIY process. ‘You Look Good Naked’ was recorded in my studio in Newcastle, engineered by my best friend, Rob, produced by me and mixed by me and Rob in his living room. It was my mission to find the scrappiest guitar sound possible, inspired by my favourite punk records of the 70’s. I wanted to combine this sound with a fun pop sensibility.”
