Kiesza stormed onto the scene in 2014 with her impassioned hit “Hideaway,” which has accrued over a billion streams; the accompanying one-shot video featured on several best-of-decade lists. Her debut studio album, Sound Of A Woman, saw her top charts globally and moved over a million units. With subsequent top-tier collaborations like Jack Ü, Deadmau5 and Francis Mercier, Kiesza has managed to transition into independence with a strong and unique profile despite a 2-year hiatus, forced by a car crash.
Her most recent album “Dancing and Crying: Vol.1” leveraged the single ‘I Go Dance” which reached #1 on the US Dance Airplay Chart summer of 2024 and this year, Kiesza continues pushing her vision of dance music into the world full steam ahead with Dancing and Crying: Vol. 2. This era of sexy, intimate exploration of female driven house music, kicks off with “Stays in Bed”. A club-focused track produced by UK breakout DJ/Producer Sammy Virji and rising producer artist Jess Cake.
Crafted in Kiesza’s home studio in Toronto, “Stays in Bed” raises the pulse and drives the bedroom energy to the decks and dancefloors.
