Premiere: Majorette Shares New Single 'Tomorrow is Forever'
New EP Forever starts on Tuesday released on January 25th
January 24, 2024
Under the moniker Majorette, Queens-based singer/songwriter Danielle Salomon crafts compelling indie pop with a twee and vintage edge, creating a style described as “vibrant yet tepid.” The project originally began as a bedroom pop affair, collecting demos recorded on Salomon's old Yamaha keyboard, but has since grown into a full band with the addition of guitarist Eli Recht-Appel, bassist Bianca Butler, violinist Chris Williams and percussionist David Ball . .
Lately, Salomon has been teasing her upcoming debut EP, Forever starts on Tuesday, who announced it last year with her lead single, “One Glove.” The full EP is out tomorrow, January 25, but ahead of the release Majorette has shared one final single from the record, “Tomorrow is Forever,” which premieres with Under the Radar.
“Tomorrow is Forever” serves as the album's title track, with the hook echoing Salomon's cheerful mantra, “Tomorrow is forever / And forever starts Tuesday.” Salomon sings in a sweet, conversational style, sometimes breaking through the spoken word and other times floating untethered over soaring synth chords. The track is unassuming and low-key, propelled by a drum machine march and simmering lo-fi aesthetic, before later spreading into a wistful outro. However, Salomon also weaves in a surprisingly catchy hook and plenty of eye-popping charm. The piece tells the story of being hit by a car, but Salomon relays the events with an irrepressible gaiety and unusual wit, painting the moment as unexpectedly heartfelt and profoundly funny.
Speaking about the song, Salomon says, “'Tomorrow is Forever' is my favorite track on the EP. The hook “Tomorrow is forever and forever starts Tuesday” was inspired by Roger Miller's lyric “good ain't forever and bad ain't for good” from Lou's Got the Flu, and the song “There's Always Tomorrow” from claymation ( Rankin/Bass) Rudolph. Roger Miller has a writing style that is funny, comforting and deep all at once, and Rudolph is sparkling and nostalgic. My ultimate hope would be to incorporate some of these elements into my songs, and I think “Tomorrow is Forever” is the closest I've come. The verbal part about being hit by a car of course actually happened, including the part where the driver thought I was a kid! I like to improvise a bit every time I perform it live, because it's fun and keeps us all on our toes! I also really like the big outro that Katie Von Scheicher helped us come up with while we were recording.”
