Homegrown pop star Pastiche leans into escapism with her euphoric new single ‘Dizzy’, out today. Inspired by a wild night out, ‘Dizzy’ captures the exhilarating feeling of losing yourself on the dancefloor.
Pastiche says of the track: “Music is my escape from the world and the things I’m dealing with, just like how going out can be a way to let yourself lose control. It’s so freeing to be wild just for one night to feel something, meet new people, dance with strangers. ‘Dizzy’ is all about leaving your day to day behind and allowing yourself to be caught up in a whirlwind.”
Dublin-born Pastiche burst onto the Irish scene at the end of 2020, bringing her fresh pop sensibilities. Brazen, fiery and memorable, she is an artist to sit up and take notice of. With BBC’s Gemma Bradley noting that Pastiche has “a promising future ahead,” she has been hailed as “Ireland’s fastest rising pop star”(Hot Press).
Pastiche’s 2024 single ‘Forfeit Control’ reached no. 3 on the Irish Radio Breakers Chart and has amassed 4.3 million radio impacts. The song and Pastiche’s own story drew attention from the Irish Times Women’s Podcast, Catch Up with Louise McSharry, The Sunday Times, Nialler9, Real Hot Girl Podcast and many others. Showcasing online at the remote Ireland Music Week 2021, each single release from Pastiche’s debut EP Freak Show Symphony has garnered millions of radio impacts, hundreds of thousands of streams, tens of thousands of radio plays, as well as landing New Music Friday, New Pop UK and other massive Spotify editorial playlists. She has an impressive 450,000+ Spotify streams under her belt as a fully independent artist.
Pastiche sold out her 2021 debut headline show at Whelans in 72 hours, causing media to rave about her and the Irish Examiner to name her an “Irish act to watch out for”. She made her debut at Primavera Pro in 2022 and dazzled audiences at leading Irish music festivals Sea Sessions, Indiependence, SoFFt Nights and Dublin’s Pride Festival. 2023 was a banner year for Pastiche, who was featured as a Keychange artist and played the massive stages at The 3Olympia, Collins Barracks and Iceland Airwaves.
