Our new favorite dance-pop singer Kiesza follows her number one single "Hideaway" with a new single "Giant in My Heart." It felt like Canadian pop belter came out of nowhere with her irrepressible and inescapable sound, and judging by its super-catchy follow-up "Giant In My Heart," she's here to stay. The Canadian songstress has now unleashed her a new wild accompanied clip for "Giant in My Heart," featuring a man who dresses up like a shimmering drag queen to watch her perform.
Kiesza has written music for Rihanna, Kylie Minogue and Icona Pop, and last week she put out her own debut EP, "Hideaway," on Island Records. It sounds right off '90s dance pop radio, but in the wake of Disclosure's breakthrough, that thumping bass also sounds pretty in-the-now. "Giant in My Heart," follows the same style of her soaring debut club throwback "Hideaway," mixing pop and deep house. It builds on the diva vocals and lose yourself-beat that made "Hideaway" a success, while the lyrics tackle the aftermath of a breakup. The perfect summer sound.
Kiesza has defied all expectations and dropped a massive tune as the follow-up to her international smash hit "Hideaway," proving that there is more to this new star than being a one-hit wonder. Picking up where "Hideaway" left off, "Giant In My Heart" once again sees the dance star plunder the 90s house scene for her beats, with subtle electronica pounding beneath her powerful, diva-esque vocals, before building to a seriously retro hook. All the while, Kiesza gives us another great dance sequence in theme with the song's '90s vibes.
Its video, on the other hand, is a definite departure from the visual clip for "Hideaway." Filmed on the streets of Williamsburg, the quirky new promo follows around a put-upon New Yorker who's living a double life: At first he seems like just another disgruntled 9-5er whose day is marred by the annoyances of working an unsatisfying and frustrated office job, but then we find out that he lead a very freeing, second life at nighttime, a fierce stiletto-wearing drag queen who goes to watch Kiesza perform in a club with his like-minded friends. By the end his two worlds collide, as if he's taken her lyric "just give me back the moments that we made" truly to heart.
