With only three albums released Dragonette are no longer newcomers on the music market. Last year, they were honored as the # 1 Canadian airplay artists, before they had four Top 10 hits on the Canadian charts. They  appeared as support for amongst others Duran Duran, Avril Lavigne and the Sugababes. They sold 3.5 million copies of  their single "Hello", which was created in collaboration with Martin Solveig.


  For the upcoming holiday season Dragonette wrote with William Orbit (who worked with Madonna, Pink, Katie Melua, Blur) the song "Merry X-Mas (Says Your Text Message)." The message is wrapped in electric guitars, steady beats and even some glockenspiel. The singer's voice is reminiscent of Miley Cyrus and Hayley Williams. Singer Martina Sorbara: "We love everything that has to do with the Christmas season, except to hear always the same   10 songs over and over again. So here's one that no one has heard, because it  is so incredibly new, like a freshly unpacked pair of long johns. We hope that this song evokes the winter mood in you! "

Dimitri Kechagias review: We are close to the great Christmas holidays season and its about time to start purchasing some great tunes to play while our family is around the table and we want to bring the Christmas spirit. Be careful to avoid dropping this tune in those family moments cause its simply not suitable for parents & grandparents without any sense of humour. In contrast if you fed up with all the sweet lovely sugary type of Christmas songs you are going to adore this one cause simply is rioting, rebellious, youthful and so modern with some  surprises for you even the F word within the context of a Christmas related song. Dragonette, who are well known for their cool tunes with EDM artists like Martin Solveig, present a brilliant song about how angry you can make someone with your Christmas wishes send by SMS because you simply don't care or even you feel bored to call to express your wishes. Its perfect track to remind us all that  the wishes we send via text messages are not enough when you care for someone. The package has some top remixes.  Doug Laurent vs Canis service a sweet summery balearic prog trance version perfect to drop in your Xmas dj sets and make the crowd burst into laughter when the dirty lyrics appear. Foundation remix comes both in dirty & clean versions and is a light epic prog house version with pumping beats, great melodic synths and warm strings.  Rob Nuenjes extended remix is a cool pumping tech house version with epic prog house influences but without any overexcitment. DaFlex dirty remix is the radio friendly cool modern electro pop version. Lets change the soundtrack for this Christmas and add some Dragonette flavour in them.
