EREZ says it's time to 'Dance It Away', stream the artist's new single here

August 10, 2021 by Toby Boston in Pop, Indie Pop, Indie

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

'Dance It Away' is a breathtakingly unique gem from EREZ. The self-produced track floats in a realm where late-night dance parties and heady self-reflection intertwine.

"Dancing is one of the only moments where I’m truly able to clear my mind," shares EREZ. "The musical landscapes I carve out are unique and feel like me. I've been lucky enough to never have a voice in my head of 'will they like it' while creating. I only create what I love and enjoy listening to".

'Dance It Away' is a haunting and captivating record, encapsulating us in a trance, providing a momentary escape. EREZ's unique upbringing—NYC born, Israeli-raised, and now L.A. based— afforded her the opportunity to embrace a worldly sound, showcased in the characteristic and unique instrumentation, incorporating the world influence into an alternative electronic pop hit.
