EVA X returns on September 18th with ‘Dance In Shadows’, the preview single for her upcoming album, TURBOPINK (out Nov 6). One part synthpop, one part metal, one part millennial J-pop, and one part 80s nostalgia, ‘Dance In Shadows’ is a primal scream for lost friends and empty spaces on the dancefloor, wrapped in a bright sonic blanket.
‘Dance In Shadows’ is a song born out of grief. EVA X writer, Gaby Gustafson completed the track after a co-worker & friend died from an aggressive form of cancer. She states, “I had written a super sad song originally, but I knew she’d hate that . It was really important to her to find joy wherever she could. So I ended up reworking the track into – Dance In Shadows- our happy little song about death.”
For the B-side of ‘Dance In Shadows’, Stoneburner brings his own styling to the track with a breakbeat remix that captures EVA’s dancefloor edge.
