"WHATEVER DADDY SAYS" is an empowering nu disco, electro stomp of a tune that is designed to make you feel good and self assured from the moment you hear it. There’s an obvious forthright sexiness to Amy Douglas’s potent delivery and tongue-in-cheek lyricism but “DADDY” is also that genderless higher power and inner strength that pushes us to be carefree, unapologetic and unbothered," proclaims Bill of 808 Beach. Amy Douglas shares, "This was just so darn fun, it’s a pleasure and honor to work with Bill, John and toucan sounds on what we hope is your fave new naughty fun anthem."

Amy Douglas

Amy Douglas has made quite the name for herself. In the past year alone, she has collaborated with the likes of Róisin Murphy, Horse Meat Disco, and The Blessed Madonna, to name a few. “I always envisioned myself in some version of Led Zeppelin or something extremely loud and heavy but as I do love classic disco and soul, transitioning into dance music was fun for me,” Douglas says.

It’s easy to see why Douglas has become a household name. Her incredible voice and stellar songwriting skills has made her dance music’s bonafide rock chick. She also bangs out some mean tunes on the piano. “It’s been exciting to bring a very singer/songwriter point of view into that world,” Douglas said. Looking through the list of musicians Douglas has collaborated with, it’s like looking at a list of dance music royalty, including Juan MacLean, Luke Solomon, Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard, Justin Strauss, Crooked Man, Low Steppa, and more. Her vocals also appear on a number of Glitterbox and Defected releases. She even worked on a tribal, transglobal, hippie dance project with Horse Meat Disco’s Jim Stanton called #Head.

Douglas has a big personality to match her big voice. A true disco diva, she takes glitz and glam with her everywhere she goes. That was evident when she performed to thousands of sweaty bodies at New York City Pride in 2019.

Douglas’ collaborations will continue into 2021, having started her own imprint Ladyballs Records with her creative partner Tim Wagner. On the horizon is Hard Feelings, a collaboration with the inimitable Joe Goddard of Hot Chip.
