With "Hideaway" KIESZA (pronounced 'Kaisa') directly conquered No. 1 on the British charts and Hideaway is the most successful debut single from 2014. About 500,000 times the "Hideaway" alone sold in the UK. In the USA, KIESZA currently penetrates the musical landscape, and celebrated her U.S. television premiere with a furious appearance at David Letterman. The video for "Hideaway", in which the 25-year-old dances through the streets of New York and was born without interface, has already been viewed on YouTube over 50 million times. Now puts the singer, songwriter and dancer trained her new song before: "Giant In My Heart" convinced as its predecessor with the finest beats and deep house grooves that send the summer already into overtime!
"Writing a really good pop song is totally hard," revealed the former sniper in an interview with the magazine Spiegel. KIESZA shows with "Giant In My Heart" one more time her extraordinary talent, her love for melodic sounds and remarkable sensitivity for writing perfectly tuned pop music. After KIESZA has played in Berlin celebrated a first Showcase, it is at this year's Melt! Festival guest and will present "Giant In My Heart" live there of course. The critics celebrate already the next big superstar ('everyone's new favorite popstar' - Radio1). KIESZA undoubtedly is one of the most exciting newcomers of the year and "Giant In My Heart" she emphasizes this in the best way. A 'giant' song that goes to the heart and in the dance legs.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Kiesza is definitely on her road to big stardom and the idea to connect her music writing with the explosion of retro 90's house resurrection sounds is the best decision ever made. In that way she will be responsible for bringing to the mainstream culture the awesomeness of quality deep house and early 90s sounds to the new generation of teenagers that were not even born back then. Her new track Giant In My Heart has only plus and not even one minus. Very danceable groove, fantastic feel good carefree rhythm, emotional melodies and cinematic melancholic strings support the track to have an eclectic balance between the more happy and sad elements. Kiesza's performance is honest, sensitive, truthful and stands out as she sounds perfect within the deep house soundscapes. The track is destined to get multiple plays on radio stations the coming months. The remix package is the finest that you can wish for to get. Loe remix is an excellent deep house interpretation with addictive organ riff, funky hooky basslines, warm soulful piano chords, electro pop synths and great percussion that support well Kiesza's full vocal. Arches remix targets the main room, more upfront deep house sets with tougher old school bassline, rave style synths, superb atmospheric breakdown and analogue feel throughout. Billon remix is moving towards the more British influenced late night underground deep tech house style by adopting garage style bassline that sounds distorted and off sometimes too. Blood Diamonds remix takes the trap/breaks route and the result is truly groovy, sexy and very danceable. Last but not least No Artificial Colours remix adopts a much more laid back deep house raw sounding groove with great drums, deep basslines and top xylophone melodies as well. Hit Guaranteed! #PureDiamond Love IT
