Kiesza, whose landmark multi-platinum worldwide smash "Hideaway" netted nearly 500 million global streams, premieres her brand new track and video, "Dearly Beloved" today! The electric slice of disco-infused pop was produced by three-time Grammy-winning British electronic musician, songwriter and producer Stuart Price (famously known for his work with Madonna, The Killers, Gwen Stefani, etc.), marking the first taste of new music to come from Kiesza this year on the Island Records/4th and B'way/Lokal Legend imprint.

"Dearly Beloved" comes to life with the accompanying music video that sees Kiesza stripped down to basics, highlighting her dance prowess. Check out the video HERE
A note from Kiesza: When my best friend Alice passed away nearly a year and a half ago, her white electric guitar was passed along to me. In her memory and because I love her so much, I promised myself that I would not let it sit in its case collecting dust. I was going to play the hell out of it, just as she would have done. So that's what I'm doing. Inspired by her and all of you, I am absolutely ecstatic to be able to start off this new chapter with my new song, Dearly Beloved.

About Kiesza Kiesza, singer/songwriter and pop polymath, shot to stardom in 2014 with the release of the Hideaway EP that topped the US and UK charts with the eponymous single holding nearly half a billion plays. Later that year, the Calgary-born artist released a full-length debut, Sound of a Woman via Island Records, which met both commercial and critical success. Since then Kiesza has gone on to win three Juno awards and has been nominated for the mtvU Woodie Awards, Germany's Echo Awards, and the International Dance Music Awards. She has been featured on tracks with Joey Bada$$ ("Teach Me"), Jack Ü (Skrillex & Diplo, "Take Ü There"), and Duran Duran ("Last Night In the City," on their Paper Gods album). Kiesza's music has been featured in film and Broadway including her song "Cannonball" in Dreamwork's animated film, Home, featuring Rihanna and "Stronger" which was the lead single off of Finding Neverland: The Album, Harvey Weinstein's hit Broadway musical of the same name. Outside of music, Kiesza is known for her unique style and was featured as the face of Fendi's 2014 "Color Block" eyewear campaign and is a spokesperson for Canadian fine jewelry brand, Birks.
