Freja the Dragon
Welcome back to the Road Trip Playlists Podcast and our first episode of 2023. On this episode, host Thomas Darro is joined by Swedish singer-songwriter Freja the Dragon. Freja is fresh off the release of her new EP Midnight Feelings. The four-track EP features previously released singles We’re Changing and Closer where she collaborated with Peter, Bjorn, and John. In our conversation, Freja talks about how she accidentally started touring with Peter, Bjorn, and John and how that led from her to want to create her own project and helped lead to Freja the Dragon. Now, Freja is out with her second EP and a collection of four excellent songs. It was a pleasure to speak with her about what led to this EP, what it has meant to her, and about her inspiring path into music.
