Once again, my gut feeling wasn't wrong when I tipped Kiesza as a new artist to watch for 2014. First single "Hideaway" is a huge hit, which makes it even harder to top. So the pressure was on for the Canadian's second single. But trust me when I say that she did NOT disappoint. Second single "Giant In My Heart" is THE BOMB, absolutely amazeballs! It keeps the 90's housy synths beats that she used on "Hideaway", but the production sounds a lot fuller, more rounded and finished than said first single. Her ethereal vocals still sound like they were recorded from miles away, but that's all part of Kiesza's charm. And instead of going "ooh aah" all day, this "waw todoo doo doo doo daw" hook will be stuck in your head for the next couple of weeks. This is a very strong follow-up single, so: GO KIESZA! :D UPDATE: I've replaced the audiofile with the official music video! It's a lovely video that proves it's ok to be yourself. Even it means you being a guy in drag. Love it! |
