ZEDD & KEHLANI "GOOD THING" NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO OUT NOW
Multi-platinum, GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, DJ and producer Zedd has released his new single “Good Thing” with GRAMMY® Award-nominated R&B sensation "Kehlani" today.
Zedd first announced the new single last Friday when he posted a teaser featuring the song’s opening staccato melody to much fanfare on social media. “Good Thing” builds with Zedd’s percussive production as Kehlani delicately croons, “I’m good by myself, don’t need no one else, don’t tell me that you got a good thing for me, ‘cause I already got a good thing.” Listen to “Good Thing”.
“It’s been a while since I was THIS excited about a song. To me, “Good Thing” brings all of my musical influences together. It has elements of pop, jazz, electronic and even soul. It feels like a journey of all the genres of music I’ve made and enjoyed throughout my life,” shares ZEDD, “Getting to work on this song with Kehlani was incredible. She’s such an unbelievable talent and I’m so honoured we got to do this song together. “
“This record is special because I’ve always admired Zedd for his ability to breathe life into his art in such a fun way,” says Kehlani, “It’s a meaningful record but still extremely fun, and very, very me. Recording this was one of the most fun studio sessions I’ve had in a long time.”
The release of “Good Thing” comes as Zedd is currently embarking on the North American leg of his headlining world tour, The Orbit Tour (see below for remaining tour dates). The Orbit Tour follows a massive year of live shows for Zedd which has also included playing the mainstage at Coachella in the spring, headlining Red Rocks in June, and the return of ZEDD IN THE PARK in Los Angeles earlier this month. The North American leg of The Orbit Tour will wrap in October and then Zedd will bring the Orbit Tour across the Atlantic, marking Zedd’s return to tour Europe for the first time since his True Colors Tour in 2015 including his biggest ever UK headline show at Printworks in London.
ZEDD & KATY PERRY
“365” NEW SINGLE & VIDEO OUT NOW
Multi-Platinum, GRAMMY® award-winning artist, DJ and producer Zedd and global superstar Katy Perry team up on the new single, “365,” which was released today (Interscope Records). The two wrote the song together, with Zedd producing.
In tandem with the song’s release, Zedd and Katy shared the official music video for “365” today. Directed by Warren Fu (The Weeknd, Daft Punk) and conceptualized by Katy, it asks the question: could an AI learn to love? The video tells the poignant story of an android Katy Perry, who yearns to be human, as she attempts to make a genuine connection with Zedd.
"Katy and I have known each other for a while now and while on tour together in Australia last summer, we starting working on some music,” shares Zedd, “After we got off tour and with our musical value systems even more aligned we continued working together and that’s when 365 started to take shape. As it all came together, we knew we had something special. I love how Katy sounds on this record. I’m so excited to finally share this with our fans.”
“I was really excited for Zedd to join my WITNESS: The Tour last year, and in our down time, we started vibing on music, which led to this special song,” says Katy, “Happy to collaborate with such a talented and down-to-earth human being.”
“365” is Zedd’s first single of 2019. The release comes after a massive 2018, which included teaming up with Shawn Mendes for the “Lost In Japan” remix, “Happy Now” with Elley Duhé, and his monster smash “The Middle” with Maren Morris and Grey.
Zedd earned his second #1 at Top 40 Radio and three GRAMMY® nominations for “The Middle,” making him a five-time GRAMMY® nominee in addition to his 2014 win for Best Dance Recording.
In April, Zedd will embark on his California Tour in April 2019 which includes Coachella, where he’ll play both weekends, as well as stops in Avila Beach, San Jose, and Santa Barbara.
