Dorothy Miranda Clark, better known as Dodie, has taken her time. Her solo career was quiet for three years - a long break in the fast-moving world of pop. But now she's back. With a quiet bang, with an ironically titled anthem "I'M FINE!". It's a phrase you say too often when it's not actually true. And therein lies the power of this new single - it balances with frightening honesty between façade and emotion, between chaos and clarity. Recorded between her home studio and the London studio of Joe Rubel, a long-time musical companion, "I'M FINE!" shows a mature artist who not only masters her craft, but also examines herself - with ruthlessness and humor. The album now marks a return to herself. The music has become softer, the themes deeper. It's about mental health, depersonalization, the feeling of being too much and too little at the same time. Dodie has never made a secret of her inner struggles - she sets them to music. She doesn't sound resigned, but combative, almost defiant. The song is not a resigned "I'm okay", but an open "I want to be". With this new openness - less YouTube vlog, more musical essay - dodie takes to the stage again.

Dodie became known via YouTube, where she published her own songs early on, showed herself to be vulnerable and shared musical sketches and personal upheavals with her fans. She was never just an influencer or a pop musician, but always both at the same time: a diary and a soundtrack. With over a billion streams and millions of followers, she has built up a loyal community - not despite, but because of her openness.
