NEW SINGLE 'QUICKSAND' OUT 20th February 2026

W: Kelly Holmes

Simone Ledet is officially stepping out from the songwriter’s shadow with "Quicksand," a track that proves she is just as capable of commanding a spotlight as she is a writing room. After years of crafting massive hits for other artists—amassing over 6.1 million streams and a UEFA anthem along the way—this release marks her definitive transition into a solo powerhouse. The song isn't just a new single; it’s a bold statement of intent from an artist who has spent a decade mastering the architecture of a perfect pop song.

The brilliance of "Quicksand" lies in its subversive emotional core: staying rooted while everything else shifts. Ledet trades the typical "falling" trope for a narrative about radical self-possession and the refusal to mold oneself into a shape that doesn't fit. Musically, it’s a masterclass in "Scandi-Soul," blending the clinical, melodic precision of Copenhagen with the heavy, atmospheric R&B textures of Los Angeles. Her vocals are the undeniable anchor—vulnerable and intimate, yet delivered with the "uncompromising" confidence of someone who knows exactly how a hit is built.

With a debut EP on the horizon for April 2026, Ledet is no longer just the secret weapon of the Danish music scene—she is its next major export. Between the heavy 808s and the razor-sharp toplines, "Quicksand" establishes a sound that feels both global and deeply personal. It’s rare to see a debut feel this finished, but given her pedigree, it’s clear that Simone Ledet isn't just testing the waters; she’s taking over the deep end.
