It was a surprise performance together on New Year’s Eve at Australia’s acclaimed Beyond The Valley Festival in 2022 that first hinted at a collaborative relationship. The duo brought in the New Year, performing to 35,000 festival goers. The festival marked Grammy Award winner, Nelly Furtado’s first return to the stage in over five years, catapulting her back to the center of the cultural conversation, as Dom returned to his hometown and celebrated his biggest year to date. Dom Dolla followed Furtado on the set times, but brought her back out during his set to play another of her classic anthems.
‘Eat Your Man’ is the product of extensive collaborative sessions in the studio, where Dom Dolla’s unique production style and Nelly’s iconic lyricism intersect. The track showcases the distinctive sound crafted by Dom Dolla and features Furtado’s lyrical nods to her globally recognized hits. With lines like “Fly like a bird, I’m taking it home” and “I’ll eat your man, devour him whole,” Furtado’s lyrical cadence intricately intertwines with Dom Dolla’s production, resulting in a meticulously crafted composition that beautifully harmonizes the talents of these two diverse artists.
Dom Says “Nelly first reached out to me after we were both booked to play Beyond The Valley Festival. She’d discovered my music not long before and was into what she heard. We immediately hit it off after hanging out and she mentioned that she was looking to start writing a bunch of new records and would love my input as a songwriter/producer. After a few days of writing she mentioned she would love to work on a club record together, and we began to put some ideas down. Not long after, ‘Eat Your Man’ was born. Nelly and I have since become really good friends – I even completed the mix down for this tune while house-sitting for her in LA. She’s the nicest pop star I’ve met thus far and is a joy to work with. The tune has since become a real moment in my DJ sets, I hope you guys like it as much as we do!”
Nelly adds, “Meeting Dom has been an absolute blessing. We have a real creative synergy and trust when we work together – we hear music in a similar way and I am super inspired by his live shows. He’s reminded me how much fun music can be and for that I am grateful.”
‘Eat Your Man’ brings together an act at this top the game in the electronic world together with a pop star with a hit filled catalogue to breathe new life into the world of music.
