Independent Australian-Swiss singer-songwriter and producer Dave Curl started 2024 with the release of his sophomore LP, Lockdown – Seven Nations under the label Running Wild Records. Unlike a traditional album, Lockdown puts a single song and theme in the hands of artists around the globe. The result? A global anthem that is sure to resonate with listeners worldwide.
Dave Curl’s journey from a small-town dreamer to an international sensation is an example for a lot of rising artists. Hailing from Winterthur, Switzerland, with English-Australian roots, his musical journey began in his teenage years. He was fueled by a passion for guitar and a desire to carve his own path in the world of music. Passionate about creating and performing his own music since 2015, Dave is now known for his soulful and authentic folk-pop-rock sound and his music has touched the hearts of many.
At the heart of his latest release, “Lockdown – Seven Nations”, lies its eponymous anthem. Based on the original single, ‘Lockdown’, it is a reminder of the challenges we’ve faced during the Covid-19 pandemic. It captures the essence of isolation, frustration, and hope amidst the chaos we all experienced. But the artist takes a step further by inviting artists from Switzerland, Spain, Germany, France, India, Italy, and the UK to reimagine the song in their own language. The result is a breathtaking collection of songs, all in different languages that unite listeners under the universal language of music. Whether you prefer listening to music in English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, German or Swiss, Dave Curl got you covered!
This release is a beautiful example of the power of music to share a message of hope, solidarity and defiance regardless of the language.
“During the Covid-19 time I had all these emotions that just needed to be expressed in a creative way. At the time I was just overwhelmed about all the “shitshows” going on, but with some distance and time I found the hook (chorus) for the song and could finally use all those pages I had filled with words of anger, fear, hope and disbelief.” – Dave Curl
