Australian and American duo merge pop and EDM on Medicine
Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Keenan Te joins forces with US-based producer and DJ Dabin on their new single Medicine, a cross-continental collaboration that bridges emotionally driven pop songwriting with expansive electronic production.
Marking Keenan Te’s first step into the EDM space, Medicine pairs his signature emotional writing with a cinematic electronic sound that builds with intensity and release.
The production opens up his voice in a new way, allowing moments of vulnerability to sit against expansive drops and uplifting energy, creating a record that feels deeply personal and suited for a live audience.
Love as a lifeline
Lyrically, Medicine is grounded in the feeling of being lost and searching for something to hold onto, until one person becomes your anchor. Themes of losing faith, carrying emotional weight and being pulled back to life reflect a relationship that provides stability in moments of doubt.
Here, the idea of “medicine” extends beyond comfort and instead also represents restoration through someone who brings you back when you feel like you are slipping away.
With Dabin elevating the emotion through his melodic production, the track unfolds as a vulnerable love story about finding healing in another person.
Live debut, global push
Set to debut live at the Stay In Bloom Festival in the US next week, the release marks a defining moment for Te and Dabin as they bring their worlds together on stage for the first time.
Medicine captures the intersection of Keenan Te and Dabin’s strengths, with the track being built on vulnerability, uplift and sonic scale. It also signals a continued push toward global collaboration.
Following a successful run of sold-out shows across the region, Keenan Te is set to return to Asia with the next chapter of The Constellations Tour, bringing his emotionally resonant live performances back to audiences in Jakarta, Manila, Hong Kong and Singapore this May and June.
