Acclaimed Canadian Electro-Pop Superstar Kiesza Returns With Iconic New Single “I Go Dance” Highly-Anticipated Upcoming Album Out This May
In a tunefully triumphant return to dancefloor glory, Kiesza is back with “I Go Dance,” the irresistible new single from her hotly anticipated upcoming album Dancing and Crying: Vol. 1, slated for May (pre-save here). With a billion-streaming single “Hideaway,” multiple JUNO Award wins, and world-class collaborations with Diplo, Skrillex, deadmau5, Duran Duran, and Francis Mercier, Kiesza has proven herself to be one of the most unique and zeitgeist-defining artists. Today, March 22nd, Kiesza will be performing “I Go Dance” for the first time at the Electronic Dance Music Awards (EDMAs) at the Eden Roc Miami Resort.
In Kiesza’s words,
“”I Go Dance” was a song where the lyrics just rolled off my tongue in a matter of seconds. With about 50% of the lyrics already in place, (Canadian producer) Sugar Jesus had already begun the beat for it in advance, and the second I heard it, I jumped up and started dancing! It’s one of those songs that felt very channeled. It came pre-written from the ether, and it was up to me to fill in the blanks. One day, while working on another song together, I played it for (Grammy-nominated songwriter) K Sotomayor, and we began talking in depth about how everything in life, be it light or dark, is in some way connected to self-healing. With that intention in mind, we wrote the verse together and we’re able to fill in all the blanks effortlessly. It’s one of those tunes that is a bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. As simple as it is, there’s more depth than one might think upon their first listen.”
Kiesza’s latest music effortlessly navigates the cross of dance, house, and electro-pop with the folk influences that have long shaped her songwriting. This fusion of genres reflects her artistic evolution since her award-winning debut single, “Hideaway,” and its memorable one-shot video that launched her career.
