Olga Bell has announced new single "Randomness", the lead single from her as-yet-untitled new record.

Talking about the new track, Bell says:

"I've been wanting to write something in the neighbourhood of 120 BPM for a really long time. I love working in fast tempos, but 120-ish is such a specific, almost hallowed zone. I didn't feel like I had license to go there until I processed lots of dance music, practiced a lot of actual dancing and studied the cultural streams that eventually produced the Top 40/MTV dance hits I remember from my childhood (Crystal Waters, Black Box, Robyn S), from my first years in the USA."

"Lyrically, 'Randomness' is about trying to move more and think less. It's a funny thing, actively trying to let go, to just exist in a space and turn off your mind and self-consciousness and quotidian concerns. Being in a hot, dark, loud room with a bunch of strangers can be terrifying but it can also be this amazing, restorative meditation. A lot of dance music is about getting lifted, feeling free - maybe that's the whole reason why humans started dancing in the first place."

The new single is out 25 March on One Little Indian.
