Pop provocateur UPSAHL releases her new single and accompanying music video titled ‘Tears on the dancefloor,’ out now via Arista Records.

‘Tears on the dancefloor’ is the latest offering in UPSAHL’s new era as she continues to demonstrate her sonically elevated new sound. An instantaneous earworm, the track is a nod to her love of Timbaland-era Nelly Furtado with sultry, husky vocal tones effortlessly flipping elastic in higher registers. UPSAHL captures the moment when you realize you’re finally over it, free from heartbreak, and finally feeling like yourself again. Riding high off the success of Deadpool and Wolverine and the revival of Wesley Snipes’ iconic titular character, the music video for the track is an homage to the opening scene from the 1998 film Blade, set on a body-to-body dancefloor with an all-consuming sound teeming with energy.

On the track, UPSAHL shares: “’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.”
