Multi-Platinum Artist VASSY Unveils New Album “Supreme”

Published

on

Australian-bred, LA-based singer-songwriter VASSY is returning to her artistic roots. Following a decade as one of the premier vocalists in dance music a vaunted career that has seen her score a 14x certified platinum record for her David Guetta-collaboration “Bad” and a 9x platinum song for her Tiësto-collaboration “Secrets,” and become the first woman ever to win the EDMA Icon Award, VASSY is tracing her steps back to an earlier era of her creative output.

“Supreme showcases my eclectic range. I started in music as a jazz singer, then evolved into an indie pop artist who eventually transitioned to the dance world, crowned as Queen of EDM. I love making dance records, but Supreme gave me a chance to incorporate those earlier sounds into a framework that’s more authentic to my origins.” – Vassy

Now, after years spent in the upper echelon of the electronic music industry, VASSY is evolving once again with the release of her new LP, Supreme, a seven-track project that showcases VASSY’s endless versatility and contains a tracklist that ranges from reggaetón heaters to heart-tugging ballads. Stemming from a frustrating bout of creative claustrophobia, Supreme represents a return to the genre-defying, soul sound of VASSY’s earliest material.

This creative approach is acutely reflected in tracks such as “Viva La Fiesta,” a party-starting banger. Working within a Latin-influenced framework, “Viva La Fiesta” transcends genre and cultural bounds with its vibrant, horns-infused instrumental and VASSY’s swagger-induced performance – a blend that’s sure to ignite dancefloors around the world.

The rest of Supreme’s tracklist is filled with similarly indelible cuts. The album commences with “Sunshine State of Mind,” a sun-bathed, tropical listening experience. Combining a breezy instrumental with VASSY’s infectious vocal melodies and lyrics, “Sunshine State of Mind” is a perfect, illuminescent tone setter for the rest of the album.

“I missed the freedom in the studio to be more versatile and create songs with no pressure to fit a certain format. I love having the ability to go from quirky indie pop records to jazzy, soulful Afro beat / Latin inspired tunes … It’s fun expressing my voice through various genres and styles of music. I find it invigorating. I just wanted to get back to my roots  to remind myself where I started musically and how that translated to where I am now in my career.”VASSY

Next up is the album’s title track “Supreme”, a raucous, trap-infused pop smash that incorporates a cathartic hook with trunk-rattling bass and ferocious charisma. After that is “Good Time Roll,” a lively track that seamlessly blends a vintage soul vibe with contemporary electronic music flourishes. And sitting in the center of the LP is “Pursuit of Happiness,” a euphoric, propulsive track with a blazing horn section.

Supreme is then rounded out by the jubilant track “Smiling All Day Long” and the uplifting anthem “Our Moment.”

Exultant, glistening, and above all, contagiously fun, VASSY’s Supreme LP marks a successful return to the artist’s creative origins a process that has seen the singer-songwriter shed any preconceived notions or baggage. As a result, she’s reminding the world who she really is: a star. Supreme is out now on all streaming platforms.
