Shazam’s featured artist is set to release her first album next month. Kiesza’s first video already has more than 100 million views.


The New York Times calls Kiesza “The season’s biggest pop music breakout.” Her debut album, Sound of a Woman hits shelves October 21. She’s already had the fastest selling debut of the year with her single “Hideaway,” which went platinum in the UK and Canada. The song’s been #1 in 21 countries on iTunes, so clearly this is a woman to watch.

Kiesza’s music has been called “fresh and vital,” and she’s been featured by Shazam and Vevo in their emerging artist program, LIFT. Through LIFT, fans can learn more about the new artist through interviews, videos, and behind-the-scenes goodness. The debut album promises to be just as big a hit as her debut single. Kiesza’s vocals are airy yet precise, and delicately beautiful. Her music is catchy and sultry and definitely worth a listen.

The video for the new single “Giant in My Head” takes us through a moving day of someone who’s having one of those days, and then explores some subculture. I won’t spoil it, so check it out below.
