Stolen Days take flight with cinematic debut single 'Butterfly'

A new creative partnership has arrived with serious promise as Dub Sonata and Alex Fitts of The Kickdrums unveil Stolen Days, launching the collaborative project with its captivating debut single 'Butterfly'.

Blending dream pop, alternative, hip-hop and cinematic production into something distinctly their own, 'Butterfly' introduces a sound built on atmosphere and emotion. Moody acoustic and electric guitar lines weave together beneath haunting guest vocals before Alex Fitts' understated delivery guides the track into a hypnotic groove, where layered percussion, shimmering textures and subtle orchestration create an immersive listening experience.

Written through a process of mutual experimentation, the single reflects both artists' desire to push beyond their established styles. Centred around themes of personal change and transformation, Butterfly balances intimacy with expansive production, allowing each element to unfold naturally as the song progresses.

Together, Dub Sonata and Alex Fitts bring an impressive pedigree to the project, having previously worked with artists including SZA, Kid Cudi, Sage Francis and R.A. the Rugged Man. Yet Stolen Days feels less like a continuation of those careers and more like the beginning of something entirely new, giving both musicians space to explore a more vulnerable, cinematic direction.

As an opening statement, 'Butterfly' offers an enticing glimpse into the creative chemistry between the pair. Rich in atmosphere, understated in its confidence and unafraid to blur genre boundaries, it lays a compelling foundation for what promises to be an exciting new chapter for both artists.
