Kiesza’s ‘Dancing and Crying: Volume 3’ is out today via Zebra Spirit Tribe, and it arrives with a run of tour dates, a new focus track, and the kind of creative energy that’s defined her since she first stormed onto the scene in 2014 with the billion-streaming “Hideaway.” The seven-track collection follows singles “When I’m Dancing” and “Good Morning America,” and lands alongside the new track “With You” and its accompanying visualizer.
“I was reminded, through this journey of Dancing and Crying: Volume 3, that all art has its own rhythm and the artists need to synchronize with it,” says Kiesza. “This process pulled all of us into a little alternate universe, like an inescapable vortex we all fell into. But I’m excited for everyone who now gets to experience these songs and fall into their own vortex as we all did.”
Executive producer Jess Cake, who performs onstage DJing alongside Kiesza and dancer Jaylen Brown, describes the project as leaning slightly psychedelic. “Much like Kiesza, it’s groovy and fearless. It’s genuinely a journey of dancing and crying all at once.” The record leans into dance, joy, nonconformity, togetherness, and self-exploration, the same values that have run through the series from the start.
The Toronto-based singer-songwriter has been building toward this moment across a career that includes her debut album ‘Sound of a Woman’, collaborations with Jack Ü, Deadmau5, and Francis Mercier, and her critically acclaimed independent album ‘Crave’. In the summer of 2024, “I Go Dance” hit number one on the US Dance Airplay Chart, confirming that her creative momentum hasn’t slowed.
The Dancing and Crying Tour kicks off May 20 in Atlanta, running through the eastern U.S. seaboard before heading to France, Denmark, Germany, and the UK, then wrapping back in Brooklyn on June 13. Rye Rye joins as support on the U.S. East Coast dates. There’s also a slot at London’s Mighty Hoopla Festival.
