Helena Gao’s Gao Dan Dan announcement on 24 June brings one of the day’s most interesting identity-driven pop stories. The Chinese-Danish artist, songwriter and producer has shared niu bi [牛逼], following the viral momentum of lao shi and her recent co-production work on Zara Larsson’s Midnight Sun: Girls Trip deluxe album. The upcoming EP is entirely self-produced and shaped by time between London and Shanghai, as well as Gao’s Scandinavian upbringing. That in-between geography matters. Gao frames the project as a way of reconnecting with Chinese identity through language, club-adjacent spaces, transit, anticipation and comedown. niu bi [牛逼] sounds like a track built at the border of several selves: dance-pop brightness, Shanghai underground pulse, alt-pop cool and the exhilarating realization that identity does not have to be fixed before it can move.
