Norwegian all-female Rock band The Cocktail Slippers, have just released their EP, Talking About Love, and the 7-inch vinyl single The Renegade Sessions. The EP features the singles “Good Love,” “123,” and “I Still Dream You,” along with two brand new tracks, “Talking About Love” and “Jungle.”

Two of the tracks on the EP, “I Still Dream You” and “Jungle,” were recorded at Renegade Studios in New York, while the remaining three tracks, including the title track “Talking About Love,” we re- recorded at Propeller Studios in Oslo.

The band has also released a new video for the track “I 2 3”.

The band says about the single:

“”123” is something of a “feel-good, goodbyetoheartbreak-rock’nroll punk song” and captures the journey from heartbreak to liberation. This is an empowering song of change for everyone who has experienced ups and downs in a stormy relationship.

The video for “123” was shot at Coney Island one day in November 2023. The band had just finished a highly anticipated tour of the Northeast coast of the United States, with concerts in Boston, Portland, Providence, Holyoke, New Haven, Ringwood and Freehold in New Jersey and in Manhattan.

The song was recorded in Propeller Studios, Oslo (Norway) by Mike Hartung. Produced by The Cocktail Slippers and co-produced by Mike Hartung and released by Wicked Cool Records (USA) on the Cocktail Slippers 5th album SHOUT IT OUT LOUD.

Thanks to Mette Landquist Grønsdal for helping out Recording the video and Vega for the postproduction work.”
