UPSAHL has released a new single, 'Tears on the dancefloor'.
'Tears on the dancefloor' is described as a nod to Timbaland-era Nelly Furtado, while the video pays homage to the opening scene of the 1998 film Blade. The release comes ahead of UPSAHL's 40+ date international 'Melt me down' headline tour, set to begin next month.
Speaking about the track, UPSAHL says: "'Tears on the dancefloor' is about feeling mysterious, while vulnerable and emotional at the same time. It was inspired by those nights out that sometimes end in tears - to be honest, that shit feels like free therapy. When we made this song, we had been listening to a lot of Nelly Furtado, so the production was heavily inspired by Timbaland and the overall vibe of the early 2000s. These are my favorite types of songs, the ones that are secretly kind of sad, but can still be played at the afterparty."
