After amassing over 150M streams with his previous productions, the Norwegian Grammy-nominated producer and leading Nordic provider of chill tunes, Sonny Alven, is now crafting his music in new directions. Pushing the boundaries of his musicality and exploring new sounds. After releasing the chill \u201cYou & I\u201d earlier this year he is now ready to make us dance out of Covid. \u201cShut Up And Dance\u201d featuring our very own Singer\/Songwriter, the incredible Aim\u00e9e is tailored for late summer nights and house parties. Throughout the year more music will come from Sonny Alven.<\/p>\n
Aim\u00e9e\u2019s Confession EP<\/a> & debut single \u201cDon\u2019t Bother\u201d shot straight to #1 on Irish iTunes charts. Her single \u201cNaked\u201d reached #4 UK Music Week Pop Charts & #12 UK Music Week Upfront Charts. She\u2019s also known as a member of Irish Women In Harmony who\u2019s stunning version of The Cranberries \u201cDreams\u201d<\/a> was the most downloaded song by an Irish act in 2020, as well as a top 10 radio hit.<\/p>\n The now 27-year-old DJ and producer Sonny Alven started releasing remixes online in his teens followed by massive support from the online community, which soon inspired him to create his own original music. This led to a record deal with Universal Music and scoring his first hit later that year with the 2015 smash \u201cOur Youth\u201d, which today has gained over 40M streams, had 4 weeks at #2 on the Norwegian Radio Charts as well as receiving a nomination for \u201cSong Of The Year\u201d at the Norwegian Grammys. After his breakthrough, Sonny has had an increasingly significant mark on the Nordic and international electronic scene with a steady output of originals, high-end official remixes for artists like Tove Lo, Alesso, Astrid S as well as a supporting tour for Kygo in 2016.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"video","video_platform":"youtube","video":"jqreSu5E1mI","facebook_video":"","video_caption":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"cta","copy":"Listen Shut Up And Dance","link":"https:\/\/UMI.lnk.to\/ShutUpAndDanceWE","cta_copy_color":"#ffffff","alignment":"center"}],"block_type":"image-content","thumbnail_size":"height-2","image_thumbnail":{"ID":1263,"id":1263,"title":"Aim\u00e9e Shut Up And Dance","filename":"IMG_9698.jpg","filesize":1174834,"url":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_9698.jpg","link":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/music-news\/new-music-from-aimee-and-sonny-alven\/img_9698\/","alt":"Aim\u00e9e Shut Up And Dance","author":"3","description":"Aim\u00e9e Shut Up And Dance","caption":"","name":"img_9698","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1262,"date":"2021-06-18 11:31:18","modified":"2021-06-18 11:31:34","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1170,"height":1438,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_9698-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_9698-244x300.jpg","medium-width":244,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_9698-768x944.jpg","medium_large-width":525,"medium_large-height":645,"large":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_9698-833x1024.jpg","large-width":525,"large-height":645,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_9698.jpg","1536x1536-width":1170,"1536x1536-height":1438,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_9698.jpg","2048x2048-width":1170,"2048x2048-height":1438,"twentyseventeen-featured-image":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_9698-1170x1200.jpg","twentyseventeen-featured-image-width":1170,"twentyseventeen-featured-image-height":1200,"twentyseventeen-thumbnail-avatar":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_9698-100x100.jpg","twentyseventeen-thumbnail-avatar-width":100,"twentyseventeen-thumbnail-avatar-height":100}},"display_tag":false,"related":[{"post":{"ID":743,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2020-04-14 20:05:50","post_date_gmt":"2020-04-14 20:05:50","post_content":"","post_title":"Aim\u00e9e releases New Single and Video for \u2018What My Mamma Gave Me\u2019","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"aimee-releases-new-single-and-video-for-what-my-mamma-gave-me","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-08 14:09:15","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-08 14:09:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/?post_type=news&p=743","menu_order":0,"post_type":"music-news","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"post":{"ID":416,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-07-21 22:19:29","post_date_gmt":"2018-07-21 22:19:29","post_content":"","post_title":"Mark McCabe Releases Brand New Track \u2018Over Me\u2019 Feat.
