Electro-pop band Dragonette was born our of the relationship of members Martina Sorbara and Dan Kurtz, but when the two separated a few years ago, they knew they wanted to continue making music. On their new album, Royal Blues (out now), Sorbara penned the lyrics first with Kurtz adding music on top afterwards (the band is rounded out by drummer Joel Stouffer), a first for the songwriters and something that proved to be a tough process for Kurtz.
