Today, multi-platinum, GRAMMY award-winning
artist/DJ/producer Zedd releases “Stay,” his new single with multi-platinum
recording artist Alessia Cara. The track marks a departure in style for both
Zedd and Alessia, contrasting an uplifting chorus with darker undertones that
play into the vulnerability of the song’s lyrics. After being teased earlier
this month, the lyric video for “Stay” is available in its entirety now HERE.
The pair met at the HALO Awards in 2016, and Zedd recalls “I’d loved her songs before but
realized that she’s an unbelievable talent when we started rehearsing
together.” Zedd then sent Alessia a demo
and they scheduled time in the studio to record the single together, with
Alessia adding “Zedd was really hands on and made sure I was involved in every
part of the process.”
“I think this song is right in the middle between
where Alessia is musically and where I am and that’s what’s so exciting about
it,” Zedd explains. “I’ve been trying to knock down barriers around music
genres and this is another step for me to walk towards a musical future where I
can create any genre I want without people putting me in a box.” Alessia notes
that it was an easy transition, explaining “it still feels like me, just an
elevated pop sound. I don’t know that I would be in this bold on my own stuff
so it’s cool to try these things with collaborators.”
Zedd will take the stage along with Bebe Rexha,
Camila Cabello, Daya, Halsey, Imagine Dragons, Incubus, Machine Gun Kelly,
Macklemore, Miguel, Mija, Skrillex, and Tinashe on April 3rd
for WELCOME!. The fundraising concert was organized by Zedd to benefit the
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), with 100%
of the profits going towards the organization. Tickets are available via
smarturl.it/WelcomeConcertTix.
Zedd’s first two albums, Clarity and True Colors,
garnered multiple Top 10 singles on US Top 40, No. 1s on US Dance charts, and
over 600 million Spotify streams. His global hits include
GRAMMY Award- winning “Clarity” feat. Foxes,“Stay The Night” feat. Hayley
Williams of Paramore, “I Want You To Know” feat. Selena Gomez, and “Beautiful
Now” feat. Jon Bellion. Besides his work as an artist, Zedd has produced for
many of the biggest names in music, such as Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, Ariana
Grande and Lady Gaga.
