Mette isn't your typical new artist having already toured the world for five years. Albeit as a dancer, rather than the headlining star she's destined to become, as the lead of Pharrell's dance troupe she's already well accustomed to the performing aspect of her new life.

Evoking Timbaland-era hip hop and the highs of Nelly Furtado's creative peak with Loose, "Petrified" trades in a recent nostalgia, panning for gold in a treasure chest of influences that are virtually untouched in pop right now. The first of a promised run of singles, "Petrified" came together in a series of late-night studio sessions.

"I now realise I’ve been hiding this dream for so long that it’s like, okay, we need to move forward in authenticity. Music is my first love - period.” Read more on Last.fm.
