Kiesza Unveils New Single ‘Dancing and Crying’
Renowned Canadian electro-pop superstar Kiesza shares her brand new single Dancing and Crying, an electrifying new dance floor gem taken from her upcoming album!
Out now via her own label Zebra Spirit Tribe, Dancing and Crying was produced by Toronto-based producer Sugar Jesus and finds Kiesza beeautifully showcasing her powerful, passionate vocals over a memorable blend of electro-pop and house elements, offering listeners an upbeat and immersive dancing experience. I am loving the energy of the song which instantly got me in a good mood and wanting to get up and dance. There's an epic, euphoric touch in the song that just gets me excited every single time I play it, with anthemic synths, groovy rhythms and a memorable beat that come together to create a dance-pop whirlwind of a song packed with soul and emotion!
Speaking about the song, Kiesza said,
My new song,
‘Dancing and Crying’ was the initial spark that launched this upcoming volume of music. It was the first song Sugar Jesus and I began, and the last to be completed for this volume. ‘Dancing and Crying’ is an Opus. A series of contrasting musical ideas, woven together by a foundation of house beats and basslines, bridges the gap between my folk origins and the dance music that marked my place on the global map. When my close friend, Grammy-nominated songwriter K. Sotomayor, joined our bite-sized writing team, we revisited this song with fresh ears. Together, the three of us brought it to completion, with a new perspective on the journey we had embarked on, both together and individually. So, in a way, ‘Dancing and Crying’ is both the beginning and the end of Vol. 1. You can think of this title track as the MC of the show, preparing you for what lies ahead. This song is the catalyst for all that has come and will come to pass in this chapter. From its womb came the vision as a whole, from which all else has and will unfold.
